Historic piano
A contract was signed between Mr. Kristijan Nakić and the acting director of the Croatian House Split, Marina Kaporela, regarding the storage and use of a Bösendorfer piano (built around 1850 in Vienna). The piano was professionally restored and preserved, acoustically and mechanically regulated and tuned at Atelier Pavlinić in Zagreb, whose activities include working on historical keyboard instruments. The piano has been regularly tuned since then and is fully functional in terms of performance, making it the oldest piano (in playing condition) in the city of Split and beyond. According to the agreement, the piano will be stored in the small hall of the Croatian House in Split on the 3rd floor for the purpose of realizing special musical events in the wake of historically aware performances. The Bösendorfer will also be an exhibit in terms of educating children and young people.
