Piano carré de Pierre Garnier

1790

A first restoration campaign of the Musée des Arts décoratifs et du Design instrument's collection took place in 2014-2015. The square piano made by Pierre Garnier in 1790 gets back his former magnificence from the past and illustrates in a remarkable way the manufacturing of pianos in Bordeaux at the end of the XVIIIth century.
