DESCRIPTION

This magnificent concert grand piano was built in New York by the esteemed Decker Brothers Piano Company shortly after the Civil War. Crafted from richly carved Brazilian Rosewood, it embodies both the grandeur and artistry of the Victorian era. Renowned as one of the most innovative and forward-thinking manufacturers of the 19th century, Decker Brothers produced instruments that were remarkably advanced for their time. Although built more than a century ago, this piano’s design and construction are strikingly modern, reflecting the firm’s reputation for progressive engineering.

During its prime, a piano of this stature would have been equally at home gracing a concert stage or serving as the centerpiece of an elegant music salon. Restored with careful historical accuracy, the instrument will be returned to its original glory, just as it appeared when it left the factory over a hundred years ago. Once the restoration is complete, the piano will both look and perform like new. Its action will deliver a highly responsive touch, while its voice will resonate with a rich, mellow warmth.

For those who wish to blend timeless tradition with modern convenience, the instrument may also be fitted with the Pianomation player system, allowing it to perform automatically by streaming music from any smart device. Thousands of song titles are available at the touch of a button, marrying 19th-century elegance with 21st-century innovation.

A matching piano stool is included.
