The piano is in beautiful restored condition, & appears to be a Style 33-53 from the catalogue published in the late 1890's, quite ornate & fancy, with copper relief panels above & below. Judging from the appearance & catalogue description, it has a Burl Walnut case, but that is my best guess. This is an antique, & therefore bears a few scars from the passage of time, but, it is a beautiful instrument to grace any living-room, & to be played. Buyer will be responsible for arranging for & the cost of shipping. There are professional piano movers in Vermont, where the instrument is located, who can transport country-wide. Sale will be final, therefore please study the photographs carefully & ask questions. Additional photographs are available. Here is some additional information:"The New England Piano Company was originally established as the New England Organ Company in 1871 in Boston, Massachusetts. In 1881, the name was changed to the New England Piano Company as the organ's popularity began to fade in favor of the piano. In the 19th Century, Boston was home to a large population of old world craftsmen who had immigrated to the United States from the old country. These craftsmen possessed amazing skill in woodworking and piano building, and the New England Piano Company was in a position to take full advantage of this amazingly skilled workforce. Like most other Boston firms, The New England Piano Company enjoyed a reputation for building truly exceptional pianos during the turn-of-the-century era. In 1885, The New England Piano Company introduced a line of pianos which they sold under the "Regal Piano Company" brand name (Regal was taken over by The Smith American Piano Company in 1889.) The New England Piano Company was out of business before the Great Depression."I reserve the right to end the auction at any time for a local sale.
P.S. Auctions do not seem to be the correct way for listing a piano, but since Ebay is not allowing me to change the format to a fixed price or best offer without starting from scratch, I am changing the starting price to the minimum the piano should sell for. A restored piano of this type is assessed much higher, so I believe that it is a good bargain price-point for someone serious enough to purchase an instrument like this & have it shipped to their location. Also, please be aware that Ebay's shipping info is erroneous, so please refer to the text of the listing for specified shipping terms. Thanks for looking!
