FORTISSIMO

Framed by an 1880’s pump organ pedal assembly & mounted on top of a 1912 Brambach grand piano lid, these deliciously designed grand piano action parts create a multi-century mandala paying homage to the hundreds of inventors and craftsman who passionately endeavored to make the piano a better instrument at every turn, every note. Working with piano hammers from the early 20th century to the late 19th century to the 1830’s, the curve of invention and access to better technology helped propel the mother of all instruments to wonderous heights sound wise.
