Instrument Description
This stunning piano was built by Henry Gaehle in Baltimore a decade before the Civil War. Gaehle was originally a partner with William Knabe in the famous Knabe Piano Company, but their partnership ended in the early 1850's. Gaehle went on to build extremely high grade, expensive pianos under his own name for several years.
This piano is made of beautiful Brazilian Rosewood, and is of the Rococo Victorian style.
