介绍（英）	Johann Jacob Könnicke was trained at an early age as a keyboard maker and is known to have build organs, grand pianos, and upright instruments like this example at The Met. He moved to Vienna around the year 1790 and eventually became a burger of that city in 1796, a position that he advertised on the nameplate of this piano. This type of piano is known as a "giraffe piano," which has an assymetrical case that is shaped to the length of the strings of a piano from the longest bass strings to the shortest treble strings. It was but one type of case developed by piano makers in the early nineteenth century, during an innovative period of piano design. A wide variety of upright pianos were developed that included among others so-called pyramid pianos and lyre pianos.
