10min. Gallery Talk " Schanz"

[10min Gallery Talk] 6/28(wed)・6/30(fri)：Schanz

Schanz is Austrian piano maker.
Of the instruments his firm made between around 1790 and 1825, many of them were originally exported to what is now Italy.
The pianos built by Schantz before about 1815 show individuality and fine workmanship.
He was probably the first Viennese builder to equalize the string lengths for each choir, to divide the bridge at the change-over from brass to steel strings and to introduce individual hammer back-checks.
