Clementi Fortepiano 1808

Housed in the J. Paul Leonard Library at San Francisco State University is a Clementi Fortepiano, built in Muzio Clementi’s London factory in 1808. A fortepiano (AKA pianoforte) is the precursor to the  modern grand piano, having a tone in between a harpsichord and a modern piano due to the brass strings.
