Specifications
Description
This exceptional piano was built in the late 19th century by the renowned J & C Fischer Piano Company of New York. Established around 1840, Fischer earned a reputation for producing high-quality, premium pianos and remained in operation for over 140 years—making it one of the few American piano manufacturers to thrive for more than a century.
Originally finished in a rich satin black lacquer, this piano is a stunning example of the Eastlake Victorian style. Note the beautifully carved front panel, intricate moldings, and elegant trusses—hallmarks of the craftsmanship of that era. As a full-size upright grand, it offers the powerful tone and presence of a grand piano in a vertical form, delivering a rich, resonant sound.
This instrument is currently undergoing a full restoration, returning it to like-new condition both inside and out.
For added versatility, a modern computerized player system can be installed, allowing the piano to play music wirelessly from an iPad, smartphone, or computer. With thousands of songs available, it’s ideal for both elegant entertainment and everyday enjoyment.
The matching piano bench is included.
