Thanks to all the polyglots!

For those interested, here is more information about the instrument:

Grand piano concert 255 cm
Added on: 2016-03-04
Built by Jean-Francois Vogelzangs in Bruxelles around 1854
Probably bought by Leopold II for Marie-Henriette at the world exposition in
Paris in 1855.
Rosewood (palissander) in very good general condition.
Two pedals, straight stringing.
Splendid sonority
Overall in perfect playing condition, some mechanical routine regulations to
do.
Only some cracks in the soundboard have been repaired with splines out of
security considerations.
a1 = 430 hz.
