Found a nice video (and the same fellow has some more videos) of a chap playing his restored 1835 Frenzel which may interest those of you who like the historic pianos. It would be similar to the Kremsegg 2 collection's 1841 Frenzel.
Also it's an interesting piece of music by Kalkbrenner which is new to me.
Here's the video link : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W3oWwsrCjTg
that's a stunning restoration job—thanks for sharing this!

Is that the scale tunning choice or it's really out tune ?
Is that the scale tunning choice or it's really out tune ?
'not sure what "tunning" is, but do you mean that some intervals seem more "out of tune" to you than others (ie well-tempered) vs all intervals being equally "out of tune" (ie the "perfection" of modern mathematically equal temperament)...? the unisons sound fine to me and none of the intervals distressingly wide or narrow, so i'm curious what you consider to be "in tune", or was your comment really just meant as some sort of sarcastic dig at historic instruments with non-ET, perhaps in the same sort of vein with which Kalkbrenner's music was ad hominem attacked by the likes of Heine more on the basis of his alleged personality over any sort of real musical merit...??
edit: oh wait! 'looked it up & "tunning" is a word (albeit an odd archaic one) ~
tun
/tʌn/
verb - archaic
gerund or present participle: tunning
store (wine or other alcoholic drinks) in a tun.
perhaps then this was a freudian slip concerning the spirited state in which the observation about "out tune" was made...?
on a somewhat more relevant note -
here's a little bit more about the performer, Bart van Sambeek: https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bart_van_Sambeek, his editions of neglected repertoire from 1780-1850: http://vansambeekedities.nl/, and the restorers, "Klavier-Atelier" of Gert Hecher, of the Frenzel in the video: http://www.hecherpiano.com/
