The Fortepiano Calendar 2026 presents a curated selection of photographs featuring historical keyboard instruments built in our workshop. Each instrument shown is a high-quality concert model, meticulously crafted after outstanding original instruments dating from the mid-18th to the early 19th century.
The calendar features fortepianos after Johann Andreas Stein, Anton Walter, J. Fritz, Silbermann, Buchholtz, Pleyel, Conrad Graf, Boisselot, and Streicher. These instruments are historically associated with the music of Mozart and Haydn, as well as the later repertoire of Beethoven, Schumann, Chopin, Liszt, and Brahms, and are widely used today for solo performance, chamber music, and continuo playing in opera productions. More details can be found at: www.fortepiano.eu/mcnulty-fortepianos/
In addition, the calendar features a harpsichord after Dulcken, a historically informed copy made by Sergei Kramer, representing an essential mid-18th-century keyboard instrument widely used in early music performance and continuo practice.
All instruments are built by Paul McNulty and Sergei Kramer, internationally recognized makers of historical keyboard instruments. Viennese fortepianos faithfully reproduce the original Viennese action, while Pleyel and Boisselot instruments follow the French tradition. The harpsichord reflects authentic historical construction principles and materials. Additional historical features across the instruments include knee levers, moderator, bassoon stop, and Turkish music stops.
Our workshop specializes in the construction, sale, rental, and restoration of historical keyboard instruments, including fortepianos and harpsichords. These instruments are used worldwide in concerts, recordings, opera productions, universities, and conservatories, and are trusted by leading performers and institutions.
