The piano being auctioned was created for today’s "living concepts," an idea conveyed by internationally recognized designer for interiors, Peter Maly.
Maly´s understanding of design is marked by original forms combined with the utmost functionality as well as perfection in manufacturing.
Many of his designs are already recognized as modern classics.
The Rondo is one of seven limited edition pianos designed by Peter Maly for Sauter Pianofortemanufaktur of Germany.
Each is unique.
Elegant and softly shaped, the Rondo is a piano that performs with the principle of round shapes.
It appears natural, soft and well balanced within itself.
Like a piece of music that surrounds an inspiration.
Detail and quality can be found within the piano.
The hinges are finished in polished chrome, which contrast well in texture and color to the ebony sharp keys.
The case is finished in a classic piano black high gloss.
Inside, the sounding board is solely made from the finest spruce from the ‘Val di Fiemme’ in the high region of South Tyrol, Italy.
The cast plate is hand-ground and draped with a precious finish.
The mechanics inside utilize a patented Sauter R2 Double Repetition Action.
Experienced pianists and piano enthusiasts will be thrilled by the touch and appearance of this designer piano.
