Reconditioned Vintage Upright Grand Piano.

  Here is one of those very rare turn of the 20th-century old upright pianos that is still a viable musical instrument. It received an extensive refurbish approximately thirty years ago. It was clearly restrung with new piano strings and over-sized tuning pins that are nice and tight, so it holds its tune well. The keys were professionally recovered with new keytops and they received new key bushings that enable proper alignment and spacing. The piano came to us in near sales-worthy condition so all we have done in the 88 Keys Piano Restoration shop is two incremental piano-tunings and some touch-up and revival of the mahogany finish of the cabinet. We will be happy to offer a two-year warranty with the piano and full trade-up value to another piano.

The bass response of this upright is quite deep and robust. Striking the bass keys at fortissimo elicits an impressive booming response. The tenor is rich and interesting. The treble is strong, clear and bell-like. The tone quality is on the slightly mellow side and would compliment a wide range of music. It has a very nice duration of tone (sustain) and a wide dynamic range allowing the pianist to play emotively. The piano-action feels responsive and plays expressively. It has a nice feel and it’s a fun play.

Built by the Cable Piano Company in Chicago, one of the most popular piano companies in the history of American piano building. The Cable piano was generally considered to be among the finest instruments built during the late 19^th and early 20^th centuries. The Kingsbury was a lower cost alternative to the Cable but with similar quality of construction and design, making it a good value. They were built until around 1953.

Piano models built by the Cable Piano Co. are among the finest antique pianos that come through our shop.

The fallboard is closed to protect the keyboard.
