Upright Grand Piano

All the details

I have an Upright Grand Piano - Shiller (1900) It's beautiful, but does need tuning. Contact me at my home number of 978 667 4139 between 7am - 10pm Here is some info: The Schiller Piano Company built exceptionally well made instruments, and this particular piano, serial number 10832, was built in 1900, was made of beautiful Honduran Mahogany wood, and is of the late Victorian style. The piano's soundboard grain (in the wood) is very close together. When that tree was growing 200 years ago, America's forests were very dense and trees had to struggle to grow. As a result, the wood rings are very close together due to slower growth. This wood with tight rings is more resonate and has much better tone quality than new pianos. Unfortunately, most of this quality wood is gone forever. New pianos with green wood do not have the same sound because they are not as deep and resonate in tone quality. As these pianos are destroyed, this wonderful wood is lost forever. Luckily, people are beginning to realize the quality of these vintage instruments and they are investing in their restoration and preservation for future generations to enjoy.
