"The Hermann Wagner piano with a retractable keyboard is known for its innovative feature of hiding the keyboard when not in use. This feature saves space and gives the piano an elegant and refined appearance when the keyboard is hidden.
Additionally, it is a transposing piano. A transposing piano is an acoustic instrument that has a mechanism to change the keyboard, allowing the player to use their original fingerings while the sound changes key.
On electronic keyboards, transposition can be achieved by holding down a transpose button or key press and then pressing a specific key to set the new key."
A check with Google's Gemini: "Information about a specific "Hermann Wagner piano with a retractable keyboard" isn't readily available in general searches, but Hermann Wagner as a brand has roots in quality pianos since 1920, partnering with Hailun in 2004 and launching a "German Scale" series in 2005; such unique features often come from specialized or custom manufacturers, suggesting you might need to search for vintage piano forums or specialized instrument archives for this particular design."
Good to know that this mechanism is possible on an acoustic piano❗
As always, Live, Breathe & Learn, and Keep Living the Music‼🎹😊
