Description
Venice is known to be one of the most romantic places on earth, and this lovely little piano captures the true romance and flavor of the ancient Italian city with its antique hand-painted murals. If you look closely, you can see lovers in Gondoliers riding through the canals of Venice with the sun setting on the horizon – the details are just breathtaking!
This instrument was built under the “Standard” label by the famous Hardman, Peck & Company in 1920. In the early 20th Century, it was not uncommon for a wealthy client to visit a piano factory, choose the instrument they preferred among all others, then have the factory commission a specialized cabinet maker and artist to design and build a custom cabinet around the instrument they chose. This piano would have been picked out among many for its fine tone quality, and then a small fortune spent to have the cabinet custom made to suit the clients décor! Since Hardman, Peck & Company was known for building superior quality instruments, it makes sense that a wealthy client would have chosen Hardman, Peck & Company for a custom piano in order to achieve the best quality sound in such a small size instrument.
This piano has been restored to like-new condition, inside and out, and the amazing Vernis Martin painted murals have been restored and preserved. The quality of tone and touch will rival any new quality baby grand piano.
This piano has been equipped with the Pianomation player system, and can play by itself by streaming music live on an iPod, computer, iPad, etc. This piano have over 6,000 songs available in its music library!
