Viennese fortepiano signed "Dominic Demara - Bürger in Wien"
Date added: 2022-01-31
The instrument, in perfect aesthetic and functional conditions, has the typical characteristics of the coeval Viennese fortepianos (1820-25ca.), With the extended keyboard Do0-G6 (CC - g) and an entirely original, extremely light Viennese action (only some rods of the hammers have been repaired or redone); the lightness of the mechanics, together with the small hammers (covered in deerskin), which give life to a clear and bright voice but still full and round, allows a great agility of execution, thus making it an ideal instrument for the execution of the repertoire of early Classicism, from Haydn and Mozart to Clementi and Beethoven.
The 5 Pedals operate on: a string - bassoon - 2 moderators - dampening lifting.
The case is veneered in walnut briar.
The normal tuning is at 420 hz but the instrument, which has excellent tuning resistance, can be tuned up to 440 hz.
The restoration, which included a new stringing, a functional revision of the mechanics (in any case already in excellent condition) and the remaking of the last layer of leather of the hammers, was carried out in 1998 in the construction and restoration atelier of Ugo Casiglia - Palermo, (one of the best known and most popular Italian builders and restorers of harpsichords and fortepianos https://ugocasiglia.it/).
Since then the instrument has been used regularly (even for some concerts) and kept in perfect condition.
The instrument can be viewed and tested at the owner's home in Palermo (Sicily). In case of concrete interest, he is available to send an audio or video recording for an initial evaluation of the sound characteristics .
A recording of a live concert can still be listened to on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yO8-rZMKgSY
