this one designed and constructed by John Broadwood of London, England . . .
a famous maker proud of its long history of Royal patronage and still producing pianos to this day
Serial number indicates that this instrument was made just prior to 1930 (Owner has checked and verified that it was among the last of the pianos made by Broadwood & sons in the era leading up to the onset of World War 2.)
BROADWOOD PIANOS : This instrument has the modern iron frame configuration, condition of the tuning system is readily apparent in that it holds its tuning well. The present owner is an advanced player and one who states that the instrument "more than satisfies" his particular needs. As a high level player of classical piano music - including some challenging Rachmaninoff compositions, Ben is compelled to urgently part with the piano... He's moving - and he will seriously consider any respectable offer with which you are comfortable.
Ben will definitely negotiate a sale at $2950 ... Dealers & hagglers welcome !
I have not seen the piano, but based on what I'm told by its present owner - and my own experience of similar instruments, it surely represents better value than the average upright piano selling in this price range ?
I regularly get calls from sellers who want way more than a sensible price for "some Beginners piano"...
But here I detect a genuine desire by a knowledgeable player to sell a better quality musical instrument...
and price won't be the reason you don't say YES to this one.
 | It's a good looking piano; Agreed ? Yes, a few marks and dings on the case ... but unless you earmark this one for Instant Action, you might be missing a special opportunity. Everything works - and this 5' 5" (165 cm) baby grand piano is certainly in 'acceptable' condition, is complete with matching stool, both in rich Rosewood Timber finish. ( Ben says it's Rosewood - photos suggest ... Mahogany? ) In any case, wouldn't you be a bit crazy to buy some Korean or Chinese upright without inspecting this one first ? ? ? Hurry ! Second caller might not even get a chance to see it. |
So ... OVER TO YOU. MUST SELL URGENTLY ! ! !
