Characteristics: The French Provincial or French Country design is evident in the scroll work above the piano desk, the fancy key cover handles and the curved legs on the piano and bench. The touch on the sound is quite soft. Both my young students and more experienced pianists enjoy the touch on this piano. The repetition rate is good. The sound is nice and clear, loud enough for a group, and quiet enough for your living room. I have been using this in for a small church and piano lessons since it was refinished. It has met needs for solos, ensemble work, personal enjoyment, piano lessons, and congregational accompaniment.
Repairs: This Baldwin piano was recently professionally refinished by Julia Race Music Services. The former color was Regal Oak, but is now Gloss Black. As part of the refinishing of this piano, the missing oak bottom panel was replaced and refinished with another oak panel. The key bed, piano back and entire case were thoroughly cleaned. Surfaces blemishes were repaired with a polyurethane product before being sanded and refinished with a quality polyurethane glossy color. The rectangle stylistic frames on the exterior case sides were removed for a more modern look. A small repair was made in the lower hitch pin area. The felts are still in good shape and the tuning pin bushings are tight, helping a tuning to last. As a professional piano technician, I have come across many levels of bushing holding power, and these bushings are better than most pianos I have dealt with. The piano has been tuned and will be tuned once more to A440 before sale.
Dimensions: The measurements of the piano are as follows:
Length at the lid: 57?.
Width at the key bed: 25?.
Height from the floor to the top of the lid: 36 1/4?.
Shipping: I encourage prospective piano buyers to view this piano personally. Please call Julia at (570) 295-xxxx to arrange a meeting. I do not ship internationally. Shipping may be available upon an individual basis for destinations within 200 miles of zip code xxxx5. Please call Julia to see if this may be an option for you before trying to buy this item.
