The work on this project was started initially in May 2005, but after several months, I stopped working on it. In July 2007, I restarted the project, remodeling almost all objects. I completed it in late August 2009. The main subject of the project is a piano from 1868, which I like very much. On the front of it, you can read: "Ehren preis. Franz Chalupny in Wien. Auszeichnung 1868".
