PLEYEL CONCERT GRAND, PARIS, 1920

After the golden years of the Chopin period, Pleyel gradually lost its high reputation toward the end of the 19th century. In 1905 this changed with the new model N1 Modèle extra grand de concert with a lenth of 278 cm. The new model rightly enjoyed a strong reputation for its beautiful and specific sound. Even today Pleyel concert grands in good condition are very popular.
