Satin ebony |

Work performed:

New soundboard, bridges, pinblock, strings, plate hitch pins, tuned duplex aliquots, and agraffes. Soundboard panel, music wire sizes, and speaking lengths rescaled for world class power, projection, sustain and evenness of scale and power. Ronsen Weickert-felt hammers, Tokiwa hammer shanks, Renner whippens. Tokiwa damper system fitted with individual capstans. New toplid, music desk frame, Empire-style legs and pedal lyre.

Character:
|
Touchweight is moderate (neither too light nor too heavy), effortless key response. Tone is exactly what a concert instrument should be: from whisper-like to thunderous.
Artist testimonials: "The piano plays itself; the sustain is endless; the tone is pearlescent; you can elicit anything you desire from this piano." |

$165,000, with matching artist bench, black Macintosh cover, and standard Baltimore-area delivery. Delivery to anywhere in the world can be arranged at additional terms. Compare this magnificent instrument to new 9' pianos from any maker, priced at least $35,000 higher. 5-year guarantee.
