This is an English piano made by one of the most established manufacturers in the UK. This particular model was designed for quite advanced use at a size of 114cm. Although it is 76 years old, it has retained a full sound, as well as having the quality of sweetness in the treble that often characterized the best English pianos. We have done a partial mechanical restoration on the piano with replacement of most of the felts and leathers in the action and keyboard, and the cabinet has been refinished with a traditional, hand French polish. The hammers are original, but still have a good amount of life remaining. These may warrant replacement at some point and the piano would justify the investment.
Please note: the natural keytops are quite yellow in colour, this is a celluloid material and cannot be whitened.
