Description
Description
Antique. Pleyel piano produced in 1870, serial number 84967. In good condition with typical defects of its age. Requires tuning and renovation. The first tuning in 1889.

The Pleyel company is dead, but they gave their production and sales ledgers in 2009 for archiving to the „Musée de la musique“ in Paris, France. In the ledger I found that the „Pianino tonne augment“ # 84967 was first of a series finished in March 1885 and sold to Mr. Max Fischer of Galati in Romania at 25. May 1885.
Then it goes to Drohobycz in today's Ukraine. Presumably to the family of a recognized artist, painter, archdrohobyczanin, Feliks Lachowicz. One of the first tuners is Klos, descended from a famous family of musicians Drohobycz, one of three brothers, the artist's wife, Elizabeth Klos (1897-1991).
It is probably thanks to their adopted daughter, Wieslawa (1929-2007), a well-known laryngologist and caretaker of Lachowicz's work, named after her husband Podemska, who finds her place with her after the Second World War in Szczecin, and then with her family in Lodz.

Famous composer Fryderyk Chopin played an instrument like this when he was living in in Paris! In an other source I found that Chopin offered in a letter to his publisher Breitkopf & Härtel 1842: "Dear Sirs: I would like to offer you a Scherzo (for 600 fr.), a Ballade (for 600 fr.) and a Polonaise (for 500 fr.)…“ so I guess Chopin was already quite successful at his time, as a pianino was not cheap at this time.
