The Tischner Grand Fortepiano, built in 1826 for the royalty in Russia, is the "Crown Jewel" of the collection. This piano is very ornate and there are only three Tischners in the world that we know of and ours is the only one that can be played! It is a Russo-German version of a Broadwood fortepiano with an English action. As with the many Broadwoods, Erards and Pleyels of Europe, experimentation with iron support bars connected to the frame of the piano and metal hitch plates instead of hardwoods was being used as all the manufacturers were trying to produce greater volume with greater string tension and also greater tuning stability. This piano employs the use of these great long iron bars and metal hitch pin plate for strength and stability.
