Rare Chappell full size 9ft concert grand piano
This is a rare piano originally owned by Chappell for TV broadcast appearances and touring use and was undoubtedly played by many famous performers of the time. It is unusual in having the Chappell logo painted on both sides of the piano for this purpose, whereas normally it would only be painted on the ‘short’ side which faces the audience. The serial number dates it to 1936-1937 which coincides with the launch of the BBC.
The piano is in good acoustic condition, with the original soundboard in very good condition for age. This piano is currently being refurbished which includes restringing and repinning of the bass, renovation of the action, replacement of the hammers and felts and more.
The casework is currently being restored and refinished – pictures show piano before restoration. Original keyboard material in good condition.
Enormous thunderous tone when required, but also excellent dynamic control and a great action. I have three Chappell concert grand pianos and this one is by far the best, showing the care and attention it has received over the years.
If you have the space then this is a fantastic piano to suit all abilities from beginner to virtuoso, with a depth of sound you just don’t get from smaller pianos. An incredible statement piece
Delivery available nationwide, price shown is within 150 miles of London to ground floor, please message if you are further away for a quote. Unlikely to go up stairs due to size. There is a several week lead-time after ordering this piano for completion of the restoration works.
