That seems like a strange instrument to make multiple copies of. A curiosity, yes, and something somebody might want to pay to have a copy of, but with no historical provenance as a performance instrument, merely an obscure, run of the mill handcrafted instrument of the time. Or are there features that reveal Heinrich Steinweg's "genius for design?" Not that copies of a run of the mill instrument of the time mightn't be worthy to have around, and if the Steinway connection leads to people paying to have some made, I'm all for it.
