CONRAD GRAF GRAND, VIENNA, 1835

Graf's business existed for only one generation and he was at the height of his carreer in 1835 when he won the golden medal for piano building at the "Gewerb-Produkten-ausstellung" in Austria. During that period he made over 100 pianos a year and exported them to many countries, but mainly to Italy and Germany.
