Piano "Walter" Op.18
1x8' BB-f3
New
elaboration of little square piano made by Anton Walter at the end of the
XVIII century. The original instrument is preserved in the "Musée
Instrumental du C.N.S.M." of Paris and for its little site is an example
of a piano probably made for a child. The action is very simple and has
no dampers giving the impression of listening to on hackbrett more than
to a piano.
