Got it! Thanks, Mister.
Another questions:
Who described the thing?
Who cajoled the bank?
Are they the same person or institution?

I don't know who did either, but they are not necessarily the same entity.

I think 'cajoled buying' is a negative meaning and 'culturally important investment with a patriotic touch' is a positive meaning.
So, the sentence indicates:
The bank was cajoled into buying the pianomaker, but the fact of being cajoled didn't have much impact to the public because the situsation was described as a 'culturally important investment' at the time.
Right?
