Piano Grand is the story of a magnificent grand piano that was built in the 1890s by legendary Boston piano maker Chickering & Sons. What began as a project to document the piano's restoration evolved into a fascinating story about the people and historic events surrounding this beautiful instrument. Purchased at auction in 2006, the piano was in great need of major repair work. After learning that it was part of American history, the owners decided to restore it immediately. The film uncovers the piano's secret past and includes interviews with the current owner and the craftsmen who restored it. It also discusses Chickering's contribution to piano development. The soundtrack is mostly beautiful period piano music from Chopin, Satie and others.
