Timeline

1846

This instrument was made in 1846 for Liszt's 1847 Russian tour.

1953

Paul McNulty (born 1953) is a builder of historical pianos, described by the New Grove as "famous for the high standard of [his] instruments."

He was born in 1953 in Houston, Texas.

1976

In 1976 he attended the Peabody Conservatory, studying classical guitar, then became interested in historical instruments, studying lute performance, etc. In 1978 he entered the New England School of Stringed Keyboard Instrument Technology, where he studied under Bill Garlick.

At his final examination McNulty gained the highest possible qualification: "tuning examiner".

He attended a seminar at the Steinway factory in New York and was recruited to work there as a technician, but chose instead to embark on a career as a fortepiano builder, and served his apprenticeship for two years under Robert Smith in Somerville, Massachusetts.

1985

Since 1985 McNulty has made more than 300 pianos, with customers from different countries.

England:

Austria:

France:

Australia:

Poland:

Germany:

etc.

1986

In 1986 John Gibbons invited McNulty to accompany his European tour with Frans Brüggen's Orchestra of the Eighteenth Century.

Gibbons performed Mozart's concertos K.491 and K.466.

In the same year McNulty moved to Amsterdam.

The search for the best materials led McNulty to move to the Czech Republic.

It was written that Viennese piano makers preferred to get their soundboards from the Schwarzenberg Forest (now Šumava) in southern Bohemia.

1995

Since 1995 McNulty has been living and working in Divišov, a small Czech town.

2004

In 2004 he married Russian-Canadian fortepianist Viviana Sofronitsky.

McNulty's fortepiano was purchased by Norwegian Academy of Music in Oslo.

It is worth mentioning that the Austrian pianist Paul Badura-Skoda also placed an order, as did Trevor Pinnock, ordering a fortepiano for a concert at Carnegie Hall.

2009

In 2009, McNulty produced the first modern copy of a French piano, a Pleyel, which was Chopin's favorite brand.

2011

In 2011, at request of Klassik Stiftung Weimar he reproduced one of Liszt's personal pianos, the Boisselot op. 2800.

2015

In 2015 McNulty extended his list of first modern copies with Streicher piano, Johannes Brahms' favourite piano model.

2018

Within the community of builders, McNulty is noted for his efforts to extend the production of historically informed instruments later into history: while he has built many fortepianos in 18th-century style, he has also progressively sought to span the gap between the fortepiano (the cradle of modern historical-piano construction) and the fully modern piano that emerged around the last third of the 19th century.

In September 2018 McNulty fortepianos Graf copy 1819, Pleyel 1830 and Buchholtz 1826 were used in the first International Chopin Competition on Period Instruments.

At present, McNulty builds fortepianos suitable for performances of piano works from Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach, Mozart and Beethoven to Chopin, Liszt and Brahms.

2019

The expanding diversity of McNulty's productions has thus helped "provide an opportunity to extend keyboard performing practice to include the piano repertory of the 19th century" (New Grove).

2020

In 2020 Paul McNulty produced his first Silbermann fortepiano for prof. Malcolm Bilson.
