DESCRIPTION

Here is a very rare and desirable concert grand piano from the Victorian era. It is 7'4" long, one size under the largest concert grand of the era. This piano was built in 1892, and is made of beautifully carved rosewood. It has heavily carved cabriole legs and an ornately carved pedal lyre. Notice the beautiful cut work around the music desk. Inside, there are beautifully painted flowers and vines that have been preserved in restoration. The tone of this piano is unmatched by today's instruments, and it is about half the price of a new piano of similar size. It comes with an original matching stool, and can be equipped with a computerized player mechanism if desired.

* Note the amazing transformation in the "before" and "after" photos!
