A historic restoration made possible by generous support

Peter Reichlin, Tuner Technician

The Parry Mansion proudly restored its 1860–1870 square grand piano, a “coffin piano” whose horizontal stringing and refined craftsmanship echo the musical world of Jefferson, Marie Antoinette, and Jane Austen.
