The Quiet Revolutionary of the Piano – Fauré’s Complete Piano Works Now on Piano Street

In the pantheon of French music, Gabriel Fauré (1845–1924) often seems a paradox—an innovator cloaked in restraint, a Romantic by birth who shaped the contours of modern French music with quiet insistence. Piano Street now provides sheet music for his complete piano works: a body of music that resists spectacle, even as it brims with invention and brilliance. Read more

Hellas GrandPiano
on: June 08, 2004, 08:29:36 AM
Hello there!
I have an old grand piano, made in Finland. It's name is "Hellas" and sold out from factory 1931. It is 180cm long and mahogany. Also it has excellent condition, ivory keys and beautiful cabin. It has repaired about 1995 and has new strings and tuners. Tuner tunes it up once a year and I think that's enough.I play it nearly every day, classical to jazz.
I know that they have made only 18 same kind of grand pianos in Finland (1910-1928). There is only seven in use and this is one of them! In Finnish embassy in Stockholm,Sweden is one (I've seen it in www-pages) and someone told me that there is one identical like this in Embassy of Finland in Washington.
I am not selling my Hellas grand piano, but I'd like to see, what do you think about this piano. Is it worthless or is it valuable.  ::)
