We have been asked to list this piano for a customer as they are downsizing and will no longer have room for it. The piano is believed to be mid 1930s vintage and is branded as a Scheck, which was made by Aeolian, who are best known for their player pianos. It is what is called a petite grand piano (smaller than a baby grand), measuring in at around 50 inches in length and 55 in width.

The rosewood case is faded with age, has lost it’s shine and in some places the veneer has warped. It would benefit from restoration. However the keys are in very good condition with no missing ivory. The piano plays very well. It was last tuned about 18 months ago and has been tuned to concert pitch. In my opinion it has held its tune very well although obviously it would want retuning after moving.

I’ve briefly played it and would describe this piano as having a “bright”, “crisp” sound which I quite like.

Despite its cosmetic defects this piano would be absolutely fantastic for a beginner as it’s got a great sound and plays very well and is compact.

Our client is keen to sell although their plans to move may be delayed due to the current situation. Please fell free to contact us with any questions you may have about the piano.

Please note that this piano is located in our customer’s home in Chard, Somerset. You will need to arrange for collection, probably using professional piano movers.
