1876...the Centennial of the U.S.A!! This extremely stunning Steinway Style IV was built in that very year! 145 years young, you can only imagine the patriots who surrounded this piano while enjoying a bouncy waltz or lively concerto. If only this piano could talk!
The elaborate rosewood cabinet features extensive carving throughout and an ornate music rack. This instrument has had new strings, pins, hammers, shanks, flanges and wippens in the recent past and is a remarkably fine-playing piano for its age! It very possibly plays better now than when it was originally manufactured. Given the restoration work that has been performed, you should expect another 50+ years out of this piano easily....she'll probably celebrate her 200th birthday if treated with a smidgen of TLC.
Her soothing tone is rich and sweet. Mmmmmmmm. Kind of like that vintage bottle of wine that you've been saving for a special occasion. The difference is, you won't drink up the contents of this instrument and then have remorse over finally opening the bottle! You can enjoy it, enjoy it again, and continue to enjoy it throughout your life. Then maybe your kids and grandkids will experience the same joy from it.
We honestly don't know how long a piano has the potential to last, as they can be restored over and over. If the structural integrity of the instrument isn't compromised, the potential is there for a piano to last for many generations. Here is your chance to find out!
Come visit us today and see how good a 145 year old piano can sound. You will be amazed!
