This piano was originally on stage in the English city of Hull. The city was bombed during WWII, but the piano managed to survive unscathed. After the war, as the city was being rebuilt many famous pianists donated their talents to play for the people of Hull to help them heal. There is a long list of musicians who played this piano, most notably Benjamin Britten and Gina Bachauer.

We rebuilt this piano around 2003 and used it for concert rentals and recordings. It appeared on many famous stages and was played by all of the famous pianists who came through Klavierhaus including Richard Goode, Angela Hewitt, Garrick Ohlsson and Andras Schiff who used it as his touring piano for three years. Vladamir Horowitz's concert technician played it and said he had never seen such a perfect piano.
