Piano after Conrad Graf, Vienna, 1824

Copy by Rodney Regier, 2000

6 1/2 Octaves

Conrad Graf was the Steinway of his day, the most sought-after and admired of the many builders in Vienna at the time. Beethoven’s last piano was a Graf; Robert and Clara Schumann received a Graf as a wedding present; Graf is almost always associated with Schubert, etc. This particular instrument is fitted with three pedals: shift, celeste, and damper-raising.
