DOPPIO BORGATO
Double Concert Grand piano with Pedalboard
composed by Model L 282 + model pedalpiano (Pedalboard - 37 notes extension ).

Inspired by the compositions mentioned above, at the end of this last century the piano-maker Luigi Borgato realized a new instrument, the "DOPPIO BORGATO": a double piano of extensive form, joining a concert-grand together with a second piano activated by a pedalboard comprised of 37 pedals, thus augmenting the expressive qualities of its 18th century predecessors.
The "DOPPIO BORGATO" opens up a new page for the musical world, this particular instrument offering new possibilities to both composers and interpreters.
In the 19th and 20th centuries other composers also wrote for the piano with pedalboard,
