An oak “arts & crafts” style 1993 vintage “Schubert” made by Belarus (Borisova piano factory) standard upright piano – 43.5” tall x 58.25” wide x 23” deep with matching bench. The action is known as a single blow action. #746382 : 1993.
The owner did the following to this piano: keys are recovered, installed a Dampp-Chaser, action regulated and some slight voicing of hammers done.
The price asked for the piano is fair in that it has been improved and represents at least the value of perhaps 8 to 10 top of the line dress shirts, a decent practice piano and a good piano for beginners through those with intermediate ability. This piano is certainly suitable for a school or church, but I would prefer it to find a good home where little fingers could be shown how to play it.
I have been asked to add that I have learned and practiced pieces by Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert, Mendelssohn, Chopin, Debussy, Scrabin and Brahms on this piano.
This piano is built to take it and has a good scale, especially in the bass where the usual pin placement was changed by the piano's designers to enable a longer speaking length to the strings. The hammers are also good and generally the sound and feel of this piano should continue to improve with use. It has had regular though light use for most of its life and fairly regular tuning. This is actually a better than average piano for the price, certainly better than anything for twice the price coming out of Asia these days. No piano performs at its peak unless it is regularly tuned and otherwise maintained. And the best time to tune a piano is after it has been placed in its new home and allowed to get used to its new environment. This piano is in need of a tuning and will not otherwise be prepped beyond its present condition prior to sale.
Offered with a free tuning if sold within 50 miles of zip code 12051 (Coxsackie, NY) The tuning would be scheduled a few weeks after the owner takes delivery.
Buyer will assume all responsibilities for arranging shipment and the sale will be final with no returns.
Payment will be through PayPal.
A payment of one tenth the asking price for this piano sent to PayPal with comparable identification will serve as a non refundable deposit and will prevent sale to someone else, however if you decide after seeing the piano not to accept it, the deposit is retained
This post will be removed from the blog when the piano sells.
