This instrument's heavy body and contrasting delicate, curved legs lend it a somewhat quirky appearance. Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy as well as Robert and Clara Schumann praised Tröndlin's Viennese-stile pianos, and until 1860 Tröndlin's instruments were used in Leipzig's Gewandhaus. They were known and loved for their even and smooth sound.
