Description
The Wing & Son Piano Company had a reputation for building only high quality pianos and sold them exclusively from lavish mail order catalogs. They were most popular for their 5-pedal “Orchestral Attachments” which mimicked harp, zither & mandolin
This is a very early example of a Wing & Son 5 pedal orchestral upright grand piano in beautiful walnut wood. It has beautifully carved panels, richly detailed moldings, and elegant paneled sides. The Wing & Son Piano Company had a reputation for building only high quality pianos and sold them exclusively from their lavish mail order catalogs.
This particular piano was sold as the “Style 29 Concert Grand” according to its original sales catalog. Some of these pianos were equipped with 5 pedals, which mimic sounds of the mandolin, banjo, harp, and zither. One cannot imagine how delightful it is to listen to one of these pianos when properly restored, and this piano is generally a favorite among our guests. When not engaged, the piano plays normally without any interference from these pedal attachments.
This piano will be restored, inside and out, with a historical perspective in mind. This instrument is a full-size upright grand with substantial tone quality. If desired, this piano can be equipped with the Pianomation player system, and can play by itself by streaming music live from any smart device. Thousands of song titles are available.
