Instrument Description

This piano was built by the Schubert Piano Company of New York in about 1897. Schubert built superb upright and grand pianos from about 1880-1936, and they were usually lavishly carved with intricate detail. These pianos were quite expensive in their day, and they were always built with the finest craftsmanship and materials. Schubert pianos are always very impressive after restoration.

This piano is made in a Gothic Revival style Victorian cabinet, and is made of elegantly carved quarter sawn oak wood. It will be just stunning after total restoration. One of the things that make this piano a bit different than most is the fact that the carved panels appear to be solid carved wood, not applied carving as is usually the case. An original matching stool is included. This piano can be equipped with computerized player mechanisms if desired.
