Lauberger & Gloss – Chopin (165) is an antique acoustic piano produced at the beginning of the 20th century, in 1903–1904, as confirmed by the serial number 15216. The instrument represents the classical school of piano construction of that period and is equipped with a Viennese action, characteristic of instruments with a lighter, more direct touch and clear articulation.

The piano is 165 cm in length, which classifies it as a salon piano, suitable for domestic and chamber spaces. The keyboard comprises 88 keys, and the instrument is fitted with 3 pedals, in accordance with the construction standards of the time.

The case is finished in high gloss (High Gloss). The keys do not have natural coverings (no ivory).

The overall condition of the piano is assessed as good; however, the instrument requires restoration to fully restore its original tonal and functional qualities. This is a typical situation for pianos from this period and offers the possibility of carrying out restoration according to the individual preferences of the future owner.

The instrument may be an interesting option both for enthusiasts of historic pianos and for those looking for a restoration project with a solid structural base and a distinct period character.
