Rossini's piano (was Chopin's piano)

[Clark Panaccione]

Some discussion about the sound from a Pleyel about
the same time (there's also a paper about old
soundboards)

Alessandro Cocchi, Flavio Ponzi, Lamberto Tronchin.

A brochure you can download published by Pleyel
including an article from 1844 discussing some of
their features.
