Model S in the Art-Nouveau style is not only a beautiful sounding instrument, but also a work of art representing a significant moment of American history. From the mid-1860’s to the 1930’s America’s industrial, cultural and financial structures were being formed and became the standard of the world. People were drawn to move to and establish a new life in the United Sates as a result of America’s newly formed prowess. It was 1907, the pinnacle of America’s grandest moment that this art-case grand piano was uniquely and tastefully designed. The original greatness of this particular piano allows us to hear and intimately experience the whisperings of a by-gone musical, historical and artistic era.
