Kimball Vienesse Edition upright piano in black lacquer.

Perhaps the most famous and most successful of all piano manufacturers in history was the W.W. Kimball Piano Company of Chicago. William Wallace Kimball founded what was to become one of the largest piano companies in the world in 1857. W.W. Kimball was an amazing entrepreneur and sales genius, and was able to promote his pianos on a nationwide basis that was very much ahead of its time.

Kimball began manufacturing their own pianos in 1888 and the firm grew very quickly. Kimballs manufacturing plant was one of the largest in the industry, and by the turn-of-the-century, Kimball was manufacturing around 20,000 pianos annually! In addition to their own Kimball brand, the firm produced a number of other brand names including Hinze, Dunbar,Whitneyand Harrison.

In 1959, Kimball was sold to The Jasper-American Corporation under the name of Kimball International. The Jasper-American Corporation controlled several brand names including Kimball, W.W. Kimball, Jasper-American, Becker, Conn, DeVoe & Son, Harrison, Hinze, Krakauer, La Petite, Schuerman, Whitmore, Whitney and Whittaker. The World Famous Bosendorfer Piano Company of Vienna became a part of Kimball International in 1966. The Kimball piano name was discontinued in 1996.

I will try to add some additional photos to give more of an impression of the piano condition.

It should be noted that this is an exceptionally heavy piano and will need to be collected by professional piano movers.

Comes with a matching piano stool. It was tuned a while ago but I am sure would benefit from another tuning.

Condition is used.

Good home required 🙂

Cash on collection preferred pls.
