Steinway & Sons Victorian Cottage Upright Piano
1875, Fully Restored! $10,999.99
This is a rare piano! Built only a few years after Steinway & Sons was founded, it is also in rare condition. Fully refinished, but also fully restored inside, it's not only beautiful to look at but it plays well, sounds great and holds tune like a champ!
Some of the details: Victorian styling, open pin block, carved music desk for immediacy of sound, the finish is apparently Rosewood, there are new keytops. This piano is about 48" tall and about 60" across. It only has 85 keys, which was standard back then. The footprint is less than one would expect, but don't let that fool you! It's a solid piano! Now-a-days we would call a piano this size a Studio Upright, but back then, Cottage Upright was the nomenclature. The full upright, or cabinet grand, was a bit taller! At the time this piano was built, the square grand was popular, so cottage uprights of this age are uncommon. Never-the-less, the workmanship is remarkable, both that of Steinway, but also that of the restorer. Steinway was working hard to gain the reputation it has today, and this piano is the beneficiary! See for yourself! Make an appointment!
