Musician Nahre Sole recently visited the Czech Museum of Music in Prague to showcase a rare and fascinating microtonal grand piano. This one-of-a-kind instrument is designed with stacked keyboards, each playing a chromatic sequence of notes tuned at a quarter-tone difference.
Created by German composer Augustus Förster and Czech music theorist and composer Alois Hába, the piano offers an extraordinary listening experience. The only other known piano of its kind is housed at the National Arab Music Institute in Cairo. Additionally, a quarter-tone upright piano is located at the Sibelius Academy in Helsinki.
