- Erard Parallel-Strung Grand Piano, Paris, 1845By Sébastien ÉrardLocated in Littleton, COThis Erard parallel-strung grand piano, crafted in Paris in 1845, has been extraordinarily well-tended, restored and maintained, enduring today as not only a spectacular example of the pinnacle of 19th Century piano design - characterized by its innovative construction and exceptional sonoral qualities - but also as a premium instrument by the most advanced modern standards, concert-ready for world-class, discriminating performers and their audiences.
