Founded in Paris in 1777, Erard is one of the most historically significant names in piano making, widely recognized for developing the double escapement action that became the foundation for the modern grand piano. Erard instruments were favored by composers and pianists including Liszt, Ravel, Fauré, and Mendelssohn for their clarity, responsiveness, and refined tonal color.
The Model Zero was designed as a more compact grand while still preserving the distinctive European tonal character associated with Erard pianos. At 6 feet in length, it offers a clear, transparent sound with a singing treble and warm bass response that differs noticeably from the heavier tonal style of many modern American grands. The action is highly responsive and particularly well suited for expressive Romantic and French repertoire.
This piano is finished in richly figured rosewood and features elegant traditional cabinet styling that reflects the craftsmanship of early 20th century French piano building. Instruments from this period are appreciated not only for their musical qualities, but also for their historical importance and decorative presence.
