Description
Originally built as an “AMPICO” model, this Chickering piano played with real dynamics and expression like a real performance.
In the early 20th Century, a Chickering & Sons player piano was one of the most expensive instruments money could buy. Chickering’s upright player pianos were originally intended for those with limited space who required a top-quality musical instrument.
This Chickering & Sons upright piano is a large, full-size “upright grand” piano with the string length and soundboard area equivalent to a small grand piano. The piano is made of imported Honduran Mahogany wood and is done in the Colonial style. The piano can be restored back to any shade of mahogany, walnut or even ebony black lacquer if desired.
The piano was originally built as a pneumatically operated AMPICO player piano, but the mechanical player mechanisms were removed from the instrument long ago. The piano will be completely restored, inside and out, with all work being done with a historical perspective in mind. The piano will be equipped with the latest and most advanced QRS Pianomation player system which allows the piano to play by itself by streaming music through any smart device. Over 13,000 song titles are now available!
A matching piano bench is included.
