† RIPPEN, HOLLAND; A 6'2'' ALUMINIUM GRAND PIANOCIRCA 1965The case finished in metallic silver with black polyester finish to lid, nameboard and music desk on tapered square legs141cm wide, 94cm high; together with matching stool designed by Nico Rippen Catalogue Note:This piano was a revolution in piano design. Johan Rippen threw away the rule book and instead of sticking with the traditional wooden-cased piano with a separate cast iron frame to take the tension, these pianos were made of a cast aluminium frame which was both the body of the piano and the frame bearing the tension of the strings The result is an iconic design reflecting the aesthetics of the 50s and 60s, but also, still strikingly modern with its sinuous case shape freed from the constraints of traditional construction. There were also several other brilliant innovations such as the laminated soundboard which does not crack or distort and a reverse 'crown' built into the soundboard at the time of construction. These instruments are very light and stable and it is no surprise that they were featured on many ocean liners of their day. These ocean liners were the epitome of taste and modern style, including the re-imagined, legendary Parisian Cafe de la Paix which lent its name to the one on board the 1958 SS Rotterdam, the ground-breaking, last great Dutch "ship of state" which was launched by Queen Juliana and featured the greatest Dutch artisans in the fitting out process. 裏朋,荷蘭; 一架 6'2'' 鋁制 三角鋼琴約1965琴箱以金屬銀和黑色聚酯完成蓋，名牌和錐形方腿上的音樂桌寬141cm, 高94cm; 搭配由尼科·來彭設計的凳子目錄注解: 這架鋼琴是鋼琴設計的一次革命。 約翰·來彭扔掉規則，堅持傳統木箱鋼琴加上一個單獨的鑄鐵框架進行拉力，這些鋼琴的鑄鋁框架是鋼琴的主體和承受琴弦張力的框架。其結果是一個標誌性的設計，反映了50年代和60年代的美學，但也仍然驚人的現代化，其彎曲的外殼形狀擺脫了傳統建構的限制。還有其他一些傑出的創新，如不開裂或扭曲的夾層音板、在建造時內置在音板上的反向"皇冠"。這些樂器非常輕便且穩定，所以它們當時出現在許多遠洋客輪上也就不足為奇了。 † indicates that VAT is payable by the purchaser at the standard rate of 20% on the hammer price as well as being charged on the buyers' premium.Condition Report: Fully restored by Period Piano Company. New strings, hammers, dampers. In good playing condition.Condition Report Disclaimer
