The piano was a gift from the Hungarian refugee Lili Kraus to New Zealand in 1959. After surviving wartime imprisonment in a Japanese internment camp in Indonesia, Lili Kraus arrived in New Zealand . From June 1946 to December 1947 she made a number of intensive national tours travelling all over small town New Zealand, playing any piano.
