To Upright Pianos

The condition of a piano is very important. For example, when children are learning to play, they need the best possible piano in order for them to learn all the techniques and touch necessary to be successful. One of the reasons children get turned off from playing is the instrument. Just because it looks like a piano, the keys go down and it makes a noise doesn't mean a child should be using it or any other student of the piano. Having a smooth, well balanced action ( touch) and a consistently good sound is imperative for the learning process to take hold.

The "touch " of a piano is so specific and should be very consistent from one note to the next so that the student learns the proper way to play the piece. I've had parents come to me after their student have either quit or the teacher has told them they're not taking it seriously enough and not doing their best. It turned out the piano was so worn out that the student was compensating for the lack of consistency of the action, thereby actually practicing wrong. Once at the teachers studio, the child couldn't duplicate their work and practice on a good and proper piano. The piece was all over the place, much to the students dismay, and frustration after working so hard. We do not want to teach our children that no matter how hard they work and how much they want to succeed, they can't. Not something we want for our children.

I make sure my pianos are of good quality so there is nothing holding the student back. We as parents want to enable good self-esteem in our kids, and to allow them to grow strong.Edit

Steinway Louis XV 6'2" Grand - Very Rare
	This piano is very rare and very good. It is a 6'2" Louis VX in high gloss mahogany and is fit for a King or Queen. It has been professionally rebuilt, including a new sound board (gives it a great voice), ivory keys and regulated perfectly for the best of pianists. It also has a QRS palyer system on it with midi capability. There is nothing not to like about this Steinway. Bosendorfer, Bechstein, Yamaha, Mason Hamlin have nothing close. Everything has been done. They are very hard to find and this one was rebuilt top quality. I am not a dealer but a private party who loves music and quality, but have to sell. Thanks	$ 67,500

Steinway O, 5' 10 1/2" Grand
	Very nice 1911 satin ebony Steinway. I have 2 of these at the moment and was very impressed with the over all character and strong sound of these pianos. The case, strings, and hammers,shanks and flanges have been redone probably 20 years ago and are in good condition.It also has new keytops. It plays effortlessly....very responsive, with a powerful sound. The price is well below market for a quick sale. It is a solid, good Steinway. An O, which Germany has always made and New York is making now, sells for over $55,000 plus tax new. This one you can have in your family forever.	$ 25,500

Steinway L 5' 10 1/2"
	Just Finished! Fabulous Year! This Steinway has turned out to be one of the best. Even the professional rebuilder here in the Bay Area said it was a great one. Built in 1929! (#268121) Fabuluos year with new strings, and just back from the refinisher. It has a new start on life and will go for 60+ years plus before needing new strings again. This piano also has nice ivory keys. Come and try it.	$ 28,500

Story and Clark Made in the USA
	Very nice, clean, well cared for grand piano with a lovely wood case. The case has wonderful detailing in a clean design. I had a professional piano technician appraise it. The soundboard, bridges and pin block are perfect. The is no oxidation on the strings, hammers are great. It has a warm, rich sound and plays beautifully. The 5'8" size is the most perfect for the home. The extra length adds the rich bass but is still small enough to comfortably fit in a home. Great Deal!!	$6,450.00

Steinway A III 6'4 1/2"
	The Steinway A III, 6'4 1/2" is known to be the best model Steinway ever made. It hasn't been made since the 40's and is highly sought after. This piano was built in 1927, the absolute best years of Steinway...the mid 20', the best. There has been no expense spared in the complete restoration, new action, strings, pins, and finish. It has a perfectly balanced action and plays like you've never felt. It has been played by some very fine classical pianists and musicians who thought it was wonderful. This piano was briefly ( 2weeks) in the recording studio of one of the areas top professional,classical recording artist. That should give a hint on how good it is. This is gorgeous instrument. For the price for a new 5'2" Steinway, you can have a fabulous Steinway 6'4".	$ 46,500.00

New German Designed Baby Grand
	I have to sell my new (this year) baby grand. German Design-High gloss black with a bench and warranty. It has a warm, rich sound and plays like a dream. There has been extra prep work done to it like 4 tunings to stabilize it( $135 ea.) and voicing ($185) which all new pianos should have but the dealers don't do.So this piano has a very good start for someone. I have a degree in music and have to let it go to a new family. Its very close to a Yamaha sound and touch but a little more mellow. A musician friend of mine has one just like it and she loves it. It has just been taken out of the crate and prepped. The warranty card has not even been sent in.	$5,995.00

Steinway B 6' 11" in ebony
	Steinway B in satin ebony, a wonderful, professional level piano. The sound is a very rich, Steinway sound with a very expressive touch. This is a very expressive piano that would be good for a professional or student. The B needs nothing but someone who will play it. It's perfect. Come and play it.	$43,500

Rosewood Chickering Grand 1885
	This one has a new home in a piano museum! I'm very happy happy that it will survive for future generations to se and hear. Antique, rosewood Chickering 6' 6" grand. Not many pianos like this have survived. This one is in the process of being restored. It has a stunning case, made of rosewood, and beautifully refinished. The pin block is new and the hammers have been replaced also. This was such a lovely rare piano when I found it, I just had to see it fully restored. What a centerpiece! This is an absolutely gorgeous antique piano.
