I have experience scouting out antique original fortepianos for projects and for my collection. I can offer consulting advice to procure certain types of instruments and have them restored to high standards based on artistic requirements and repertoire.
In the past, I have connected various people interested in exploring antique fortepianos with suitable instruments. Through my experience assessing the condition of instruments in private sales and auctions, my understanding of the possibilities and capabilities of various types of instruments and internal mechanics, and my network of trusted restorers, I can procure (and rent from my collection) instruments suitable for performances and recordings of 18th and 19th century repertoire. I can arrange instrument purchasing, restoration, and transport.
If you are searching for an antique original fortepiano for personal or professional use, but need advice, please contact me for consulting services!
