Excellent website on Square fortepianos

This is a great site with photos of beautiful square fortepianos and sound samples- one of Beethoven's sonatas too!

Some are still around for sale!

I'd say £3,000 is a great price for such an old beauty!

If I won the lottery...yes indeed!

I keep forgetting to mention that I read the page Sunday night and listened to the linked samples Monday. Good stuff. I was not previously familiar with this particular type of piano beyond knowing of their one time existence.
