Spanish Art Case Wm. Knabe and co. Ampico Player Baby Grand Piano

Description

Hello you are looking at a 1920s Art Deco era Knabe ampico electric player piano. One of the finest companies other than Steinway to take over the piano industry in the 19th century. This piano has had only 3 owners including myself. Had recently been professionally cleaned and detailed. It was refurbished on the inside new gold paint and restrung at least 25 years ago from the second owner. This has real ivory and ebony keys, none of them are chipped or cracked. Not even yellowed which is rare. This design is a very rare find, was a requested customer design at the time, featured old Mediterranean Spanish feel with harp legs and cast iron scrolls including it on the custom bench. The wood on this piano is a gorgeous heavy and solid, I believe to be walnut burl wood. All hand carved with most detail. As you can see the bench has its original upholstery. I had added a custom removable cover if you desire either or. Piano plays beautifully. No missing strings broken hammers etc. It has been recently tuned with no issues and is in surprisingly great condition for being almost 100 years old! They don’t make things like the used to! You probably would still want to tune it after moving as advised,but wouldn’t sound out of tune if you desired to play it as it settles in new environment. I am also including piano rolls so you can enjoy right away. I have over 20 rolls that are original and recuts. Classical, dinner, musicals, and holiday music. All are in great playable condition. We hope it goes to a loving home, would advise a professional piano mover. We are not responsible for anything that may happen or damage to the piano when it moved. As this may happen with any move. With moving any piano adjustments are needed to be made once it arrives in new environment. If you are a local interested I can refer you to a piano moving company that takes good care. And please contact me so you can see it in person, pictures don’t don’t do justice! If you are out of state and interested in purchasing please organize you own shipping and cost of transportation. We can then discuss further details. Please ask any questions you may have before purchase. As this is a large luxury purchase, we want you to be confident in what you are purchasing.
