【Min-On Music Museum Collection】
The Anton Walter piano is also recognized as a cultural asset and is the same type as the one Mozart owned.
Some twenty “Anton Walter” pianos of this style still exist in the world today, and only a few of them are playable.
“Anton Walter” (1795, in Vienna, Austria)
For details, please search for “Min-on Anton Walter” on the Internet.
We hope you will enjoy the original sound of the “Anton Walter” fortepiano as it was heard two-hundred years ago in Mozart’s time.
We look forward to welcoming you to our museum.
Tours of the museum have been resumed since July 7, 2020. Please make reservations in advance.
