Depite the infuriating voice-over, it is possible to get an idea of the sound of Chopin's piano.
To my ignorant ear, the old Pleyel sounds marvelous, and is just right for the Db prelude.

  The pianist was Jean Saulnier and the piano belonged to Marcel Lapointe of Québec City. This piano will come to Orford Art Center this summer for a 5 day seminar on pianoforte. There will be a few recitals on it.

    Not to say that their music should always be played on the historically accurate instrument, but I think it can be a revelation,
  Revelation, indeed. I was in attendance at a concert given on the last day of the Quebec seminar years ago (NEESCO, I think). The pianist's name escapes me, mores the pity, but he played an all-Chopin program on a fortepiano in a small room with all of us crowded around and close. It was exquisite!
