Progress Update - Week Commencing 15th September

The weekly updates have now become 'progress updates' as it was proving difficult to post a new update every week!

Since the last update, the new pianos mentioned have all arrived at the shop. The Steinway & Sons grand is currently in the shop and playable, although it will only fulfil its potential once considerable restoration has been carried out. The ebony Bechstein upright is also in the shop, although this piano is is need of a greater amount of work before it will begin to play and sound like a Bechstein should.

The 1920s Grotrian Steinweg (pictured) mentioned in the last update is already in the workshop, along with another Steinweg dating from 1905. These pianos will receive a total overhaul and should be superb pianos once completed. Finally, one Chappell upright reserved by a customer has been completed and is awaiting delivery, and another Chappell has arrived in stock to take its place. This piano was restored by us a few years ago, and since arriving back at the shop has already had some small tweaks and adjustments to get it performing at its best again.

In the workshop, work has begun on the two Steinweg uprights as mentioned above, and our Bechstein grand was also put on its feet for the first time after substantial repairs to one of the legs. This piano certainly has a lot of potential, but having come from a school is in need of serious attention.

Get in touch to find out more about any of these pianos, as more information will become available as and when we have a chance to assess them all!
