Grin.. the key note here is the word Forte. I almost never see the word included anymore anywhere unless its referring to ...er.. ah... Fortepianos as you put it. Tho... it has been very common to call them Piano Forte's as well through the years.. That said... I liked Jurgens reply very much, and applaud his efforts to bring some of the better items the European industry has to offer to the states. To bad he cant offer original German Renner Wurzens :) Cheers RicB Avery Todd wrote: > Ric, > > I somehow missed the original post but if you were wanting a Historical > Instrument site, I always thought it was called a Fortepiano!
