    This is NOT the ‘Landowska-model’ original from 1912 (=Grand Modèle de Concert, length 250 cm). 3:36 This is the ‘Modèle réduit’, having a rounded tail and much shorter, lacking the 16’ stop.

    Pleyel should make these things again due to their versatility

    Along with the "Siena Pianoforte", one of the most gorgeous sounding instruments ever created. Please record a whole recital as don't believe there are any modern recordings to show off its true tone (?). (would PZM mics be appropriate? )

    There is definitely mis-tuning between the two registers on the lower manual, and elsewhere, but I guess the person who uploaded this but knew this.

      There are only like 10 in existence as they were made to order. Remember this one has 1 8 foot choir which can be plucked from either keyboard.

    A heavy iron frame... pedals... almost the size of a Steinway D... it only lacks being converted to hammered strings to become a... piano !

      True. Really a new instrument, not a "harpsichord", per se.

    Etes-vous certain de la qualité de votre restauration ?
    L'enregistrement de Wladyslaw Klosiewicz me paraît beaucoup plus conforme à la manière dont doit sonner un tel instrument. Sans cela, je doute que Wanda se fut satisfaite d'un tel son ... purment et simplement horrible !
    Sorry not to sustein your efforts.

      The information states that the instrument is "currently undergoing restoration." That means it is not restored at present.

      well this is not the instrument Landowska would have played on. She played on the Pleyel Grand Modele de Concert. This is the smaller Trianon model.

      Tanks you for your answers.
      I expect not to have bothered you with my joke.
      Of course, everybody knows that wanda played the " grand concert " model !
      Anyway, the sound was not really "grand ", alas !
