The original Alma-Tadema was the 54,538th piano built by Steinway & Sons and 500,000 pianos later they built an exacting re-creation of the original bearing the serial number 554,538.
Sticker price for the copy: $675,000.00 USD. Only a song and dance considering it took 20 months to build.
The original Alma-Tadema sold in 1997 at a Christie's auction for $1.2 million to the Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute in Williamstown, Massachusetts.
