The Hungarian state has presented Finland with a Bogányi piano to mark the 100th anniversary of Finland’s independence.
The piano was presented in a ceremony in Budapest on Monday, following talks between House Speaker Laszlo Kover, and Maria Lohela, his Finnish counterpart.
The instrument will be hosted by Helsinki’s Sibelius Academy.
The sleek, futuristic Zengafons concert piano, developed under the inspiration of Kossuth Prize-winning pianist Gergely Bogányi, was first featured at a gala concert at the Academy of Music in January 2015.
