The Sohmer 5' Grand Piano was built by Hugo Sohmer in 1884. It is the first five foot grand made in America or any other country. This overstrung three bridge instrument is claimed to be “the smallest grand piano ever made” for its time. Cheeks to either side of the keyboard are square, the remainder of the case is roughly symmetrical in for, with mitered inner rims, laminated outer rims. It is shaped like a hat or a butterfly. It has 88 notes. And a Swiss action. The legs are very ornate.
