We seek to rediscover the art of the piano as the composer heard it on the instruments of the time;  to collect and study the instruments themselves, conserving many for history, and performing on many, so we might rediscover history’s magic.  We exhibit and curate instruments, tell the great stories of piano and society, and study the history of the piano, its technology and its builders.

Chappell Co. Yacht Piano

This small vertical piano has a folding keyboard which locks closed.  A type of folding-keyboard vertical was sold in England, sometimes popularly referred to as a piano for the boat.  So Chappell and Co. named this a Yacht piano.  #21412
