About this product
Product Information
This is the first comprehensive study of the life and work of Bartolomeo Cristofori, the Paduan-born harpsichord maker and contemporary of Antonio Stradivari, who is credited with having invented the pianoforte around the year 1700 while working in the Medici court in Florence. Through thorough analysis of documents preserved in the State Archive of Florence, Pollens has reconstructed, in unprecedented technical detail, Cristofori's working life between his arrival in Florence in 1688 and his death in 1732. This book will be of interest to pianists, historians of the piano, musicologists, museum curators and conservators, as well as keyboard instrument makers, restorers, and tuners.

Arrived the next day! Great communication. I wanted to purchase this item but the booklet was missing so he recommended a similar item which had the booklet. After purchasing, I realized the cover wasn't offered with this order (my fault for not noticing). I contacted the seller & he had no problem w/canceling the order so I could purchase the other item with the cover. Awesome customer service. 2 cons. 1. The item I was originally going to order had gone up in price. 2. Cover was dented badly
