A piano nicknamed "Einstein's piano" is carefully displayed at a long-established hotel in Nara City. Manufactured in the United States around 1900, the keyboard uses ivory, which is rare today.
After the Pacific War, the piano was removed from the hotel by the then-Osaka Railway Administration Bureau in order to escape its requisition by GHQ. In order to preserve the piano's tone for future generations, extensive repairs were carried out this year. At the end of the article, you can listen to and compare the piano tones before and after repair.
