DEUTSCHES TAFELKLAVIER VON JOHANN MATTHIAS SCHIFFMANN, DUSEMOND (BRAUNEBERG), UM 1780-1790

Das Tafelklavier von Johann Matthias Schiffmann wurde zwischen 1780 und 1790 in Dusemond, dem heutigen Brauneberg in Rheinland-Pfalz gebaut. Das Instrument ist in Nussbaum gefertigt und ruht auf einem separaten Gestell mit geschwungenen Beinen und zwei Schubladen. Vier Handzüge (zwei zu jeder Seite der Klaviatur und zwei links im Innern des Instruments) bedienen eine geteilte Dämpfungsaufhebung (FF-h0 und c1-f3), den Lautenzug und den Harfenzug, welcher am Saitenanhang angreift.
Das Tafelklavier besitzt eine deutsche Prellmechanik ohne Auslösung und Fänger. Die Einzeltondämpfung unter den Saiten (Unterdämpfung mit Dämpferhebeln aus Holz) ist in je einer eigenen hölzernen Kapsel gelagert.
Die Klaviatur (FF-f3) hat ein Stichmaß von 47,9cm. Die Hämmerchen sind beledert.
Abmessungen des Instruments:
Länge: 1589mm
Breite: 525mm
Gesamthöhe: 784mm
Korpushöhe: 183mm
Eine Besonderheit ist eine stumme Saite am Bassende des Steges, welche aktuell nicht aufgezogen ist. Die Konstruktion soll einen volleren Ton im Bass hervorrufen.
Das Instrument wurde in der Vergangenheit restauriert, ist bedingt spielbar, weist jedoch einen größeren Riss im Diskant, nahe des Anhangs auf. Ein möglicherweise originaler Schlüssel zum Instrument ist noch vorhanden.
Das vorliegende Instrument war mit großer Wahrscheinlichkeit auf der Jahrhundertausstellung 1925 in Köln zu sehen.


GERMAN SQUAREPIANO BY JOHANN MATTHIAS SCHIFFMANN, DUSEMOND (BRAUNEBERG), CIRCA 1780-1790
The squarepiano by Johann Matthias Schiffmann was built between 1780 and 1790 in Dusemond, today's Brauneberg in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany. The instrument is made of walnut and rests on a separate frame with curved legs and two drawers. Four hand stops (two on each side of the keyboard and two on the left inside the instrument) operate a divided damper lift (FF-h0 and c1-f3), the lute-stop and the harp-stop, which operates next to the hitchpinblock.
The squarepiano has a German “Prellmechanik” without escapement and without checks. The single tone dampers underneath the strings (under-dampers with wooden damper levers) are each mounted in their own wooden capsule.
The keyboard (FF-f3) has a 3-octave-span of 47.9cm. The hammers are covered with leather.
Dimensions of the instrument:
Length: 1589mm
Width: 525mm
Total height: 784mm
Body height: 183mm
A special feature is a silent string at the bass end of the bridge, which is currently not attached. The design is intended to produce a richer sound in the bass.
The instrument has been restored in the past, is conditionally playable, but has a larger crack in the treble of the soundboard, near the hitchpinblock. A possibly original key to the instrument is still present.
The present instrument was almost certainly on display at the Great Exhibition 1925 in Cologne.
