Extremely good! I owned almost the same model (2m30). With All these harmonics it was a daily drug!!!

Bluthners are in a class by themselves, Imho. . This is beautifully restored with a gorgeous tone and playing to match! You can see how much joy Ms. Pesce is getting from playing this one of a kind piano!! Just great!

Really beautiful example of a Bluthner with the old warm, golden tone. Thanks for putting this up.

Bluthners are ridiculously underrated. To me they've got the most beautiful tone. They both sound like older pianos, but with more clarity and sustain. So, like an old Pleyel which Chopin would have performed on, but clearer. It's a cooler, more ethereal tone. To me they're just the better piano when it comes to the big names like Steinway, Bosendorfer, Fazioli and Bechstein.

Their price tells that they are not underrated at all, less ads and marketing do not make their price get lower than the heavily marketed brands.

A beautiful piano, Bluthner bass tone is always remarkable which nicely balances out the live aliquot treble! Sad that someone has thrown out the Bluthner patent action in favor of the more common modern action though.

Are you sure that this is what happened? Not all Blüthners of the time came with the patent action. Buyers could choose between patent and double repetition action from as early (or maybe earlier than) 1900. I own a 1908 Style X (230 cm) and it is equipped with the original double rep action (I believe a Schwander action). The concert instruments Styles X and XI (around 274 cm) were equipped with double rep actions quite often, the smaller instruments were equipped with patent actions more often than not, and maybe 80 % of all 190 cm Style VIII like this came with patent actions. Still there are enough double rep VIIIs out there.

In the 40 years working as a piano tuner in the UK I have come across many Bluthner Pianos. A local Male Voice Chor has 8ft 6" grand Of all the makes of pianos I have come across if I had the money I would buy a Bluthner they are the cream of the cream when it comes to pianos

Just a quick note, the "patent" is actually long expired, which means that other makers choose not to implement this system. I don't think it's particularly hard to do, so I think the reason others forego the aliquot stringing is that it's so heavily associated with Bluthner that doing it on any other piano would make it look like a blatant copy, and hence hurt that particular piano model instead of enriching it. Just my hypothesis! Newer Bluthners use less of these aliquot strings but also utilize a mixed, non-muted backscale in the tenor and treble, and a front duplex in the high treble.

And your point is what? The expiration of the patent of this design is totally irrelevant, Steinway also used aliquot stringing on many of their grands, Hamburg Steinway's used this stringing for a period. This is a European design and every piano technician I have come across wont touch mine because of the extra string of the aliquot and that tuning requires you to pluck the Aliquot string and tune it to the other 3 strings of note that are struck by the hammer. I have had tuners bail out on tuning mine because it intimidated them so I tune it myself. My Bluthner 190cm Aliquot is circa:1914

My goodness what a piano! What a pianist! Is this a patent action or roller? I’ve heard the Bluthner patent action is a little slower when it comes to rapid repeat of notes but I don’t hear anything like that here. Thank you for both an informative and entertaining video!

That is true, but not to any noticeable extent with 99.9%+ of music. It is unfortunate that someone has converted this lovely patent action to the ordinary type. I had one for many years and adored it, now trying to find another.

It is a lovely one, but I have a question, that on the sound board, it has date "1905 Cape town" is that meaning this is a piano comes later on? How much it would be for such a nice restoration?

If I understand you, hammers are angle bored but perpendicular to strings, and little shaved on the sides? Is it only bluthner that made this particular hammers? Steinway? I have to replace hammers on my 1913 bluthner but I think many techs doesn't know this...
