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.

FRENCH PIANOS

Erard

The Erard Pianos in the Period Piano Collection include both Paris-built and London-built instruments.

Mussard

The Mussard vertical piano is a small boudoir cabinet piano with lower curved doors instead of the single panel typical of most pianos.  Identical in style to contemporaries of the 1830s and 1840s, including a Montal owned by Fred Sturm.
