Imagine this in your
living room I've owned this beautiful antique
intstrument for over 26 years now, and I've really loved playing it. It
has a wonderful action and a rich sound that makes my amateur style sound
like a concert professional.
A Real Classic It's
a parlor grand (6'6 - between 'baby' and 'concert' size), and was made by
Chickering & Sons in about 1885, during the last great era of the
company, while the last two surviving sons of "Chickering & Sons" were
still carrying the torch passed to them by their father.
It is
acoustically excellent, overstrung on a modern cast iron frame, much
superior to older designs such as square pianos, but it is unmistakably
antique with its 85 keys (88 was not standard in 1885) and its jointed
cabinet, unlike the modern continuous-bowed style. |
