Chopin piano--for sale
Wednesday, November 01, 2006
An upright Pleyel piano with Chopin's signature is for sale and the folks who are selling it have created a web site with a history of the piano and several performances recorded by performers playing on the piano.

Chopin said, "When I feel in good form and strong enough to find my own individual sound, I need a Pleyel." According to the site, Chopin preferred upright Pleyels over Pleyel grands.

Chopin selected and signed this piano for a Romanian princess who may have been one of his pupils.

See and hear the Chopin Pleyel piano here (but beware--the content requires the Flash plug-in and advertisements will pop up on viewing the page . . . )
