PIANO: Steinway & Sons, model M, 5’7” Grand Piano & bench, serial # 258304 Finish: Mahogany , finished in a walnut stained polished lacquer – rubbed to a high gloss. Description: Steinway is undoubtedly the piano that all musicians aspire to and some are lucky to own. However, not all Steinway’s are alike. The Steinway factory Golden Years of manufacturing were from the turn of the century through 1929. Some of their finest examples of musicality and craftmanship were built during these years. This piano is from that acknowledged Golden Period of Steinway New York and was built there in 1927. This piano is original and has been completely reconditioned with the exception of the action and cabinet. The action was rebuilt by Rand Reeves, a well-known Upstate NY piano rebuilder, with new hammers, shanks and flanges while retaining the original ivory and ebony keys. The cabinet has been refinished in a medium walnut stain on the mahogany in lacquer rubbed to a high gloss. This piano has a huge tone and produces sound more like its larger brother – the 5’ 10” model L. This is a musicians piano that will grace any living room anywhere.

PIANO: Baldwin, model M, 5'2" Artist Grand Piano & Matching Duet Bench, serial # 146848 Finish:  Select Honduras  Mahogany in Lacquer Finish Description:  Famous for their dominance in the American Piano market,  Baldwin has been the # 1 selling American piano through the late '90's.  This piano, made in Cincinnati, OH in the Spring of 1960,  is in immaculate condition having had sparing use.  It was owned by a local piano teacher who purchase the piano new on November 11, 1960.  Having taught lessons on another piano,  she save the Baldwin for her own personal use.  However, she became ill and was not able to play on her beloved Baldwin as she had wished.  This piano was immaculately cared for and it shows like new!  For many years, Baldwin Artist Grands, the upper line of Baldwin pianos, have been renowned as a very sturdy and sought after piano for school and institutional use.  Known for its warm sound,  Baldwin Artist Grands have a very large tone for their size and are built very beautifully in this particular period.  This piano is virtually the finest Baldwin Grand I have ever encountered!!!  Rich and sonorous, it has a huge bass and a very beautiful treble with a buttery smooth, responsive action.  Know for their beautiful cabinetry,  this select mahogany case is especially gorgeous and was incredibly well-maintained.  It has been completely reconditioned with the action regulated to concert standards and the hammers voiced in the German manner.  This is a fabulous find in a grand piano made by an heirloom manufacturer.  This is a very rare opportunity to own a Baldwin Grand in like new condition!!!

PIANO: Mason & Hamlin, model A, 5’8” Grand Piano & Bench, serial # 31835 Finish: Ebony Satin Finish in rubbed lacquer.   S O L D Description: Many musicians prefer the broad singing tone of the Boston-built Mason & Hamlin over the Steinway piano. This Grand Piano built in the famous Boston factory in 1923 and is the example of Mason & Hamlin’s Golden Age. After the factory was moved in the late ’20’s, Mason & Hamlin lost a great degree of its value due to increasingly poorer quality of execution. This piano was kept by an older woman piano teacher -- who lived alone. She adored the instrument and her 5 cats. When she died, her nephew inherited the piano, kept it for his children and then finally offered up for sale. The cabinet had been refinished 20+ years ago and new key-tops were installed as well. She also installed heavy custom made casters. We opted to accept the condition of the cabinet, acceptable but noticeably used, and the condition of the superstructure (soundboard, pinblock, strings, etc.) and chose to recondition the action and reset tuning pins to insure tuning stability. When we replaced the #4 bass string, we discovered that the scale design of this model A is ‘heavier’ in the bass specifications than most A’s of this period – resulting in a deeper richer bass! The original hammers were resurfaced and voiced and the action was reconditioned and regulated. This piano is truly a musician’s piano and is larger in tone than any comparable Steinway. We have chosen not to completely rebuild this piano to offer a truly remarkable value price.

PIANO: Chickering, 5’6” Parlor Grand Piano & new bench, serial # 96961 Finish: Mahogany Satin Finish. Description: Jonas Chickering is the father of the American Piano industry and his Boston factory was renowned for its high quality and musicality. Highly desired, Chickering pianos have graced the homes of many American musicians and dignitaries including Abraham Lincoln. This piano was manufactured in the Boston facility in 1908 and is a lovely example of their art including the Prince of Wales fluted legs. It is a true period piece and is a real value. This piano is indeed quite playable but will require rebuilding within the next 10 years or so. We have only regulated the action to make the piano more playable as well as reset tuning pins. This piano is offered in its present condition for the person who wants a bona fide period piece that they can refinish to their specifications. Its price is far below market value even for an unplayable Chickering!   UPDATE:  This piano is being refinished and will receive a high lustre lacquer finish that will highlight the grain of the mahogany.  This will be a showpiece !!

PIANO: PREMIER 4’ 10” Walnut Grand Piano & Bench, serial # 43144 Finish: Walnut Satin Finish. Description: Premier Piano Company was one of the many fine upper mid-range piano manufacturers in the early 1900’s. This piano is evident of the fine design and quality of manufacture. With features like a full perimeter plate, normally found in high-end instruments like Mason & Hamlin, the tone of this piano is superior for its size. Manufactured in late 1925, this wonderful instrument was well cared for and has original hammers, strings and soundboard. The finish is in remarkable condition and the piano action has been regulated and voiced in the German tradition. This is another fine value as this piano has such high end qualities that cannot be duplicated today without tremendous expense for its small size.
