1910 Krakauer Bros. (Brothers) of New York Upright Piano : A bona fide antique instrument. Burled Walnut or Maple veneer. Mostly Original keys, a couple were replaced with matching ones. Fully playing condition. Wonderful deep rich bass. Fine, mature tone. A beautiful turn of the century Empire style case that can be restored to it's original condition or left alone. I bought this piano in Cleveland Ohio in 1987. I had it restored in 1997 when I moved to Atlanta Georgia. The cost was $2600. An ideal piano if you don't have room for a grand piano, and appreciate and want an older vintage / antique piano instrument in wonderful, restored condition. Dimensions: Approx. 61" high x 54" wide x 27" deep. Condition: Refurbished and partially rebuilt in 1997. New hammers, new base strings and tuning pins, the action was refurbished and regulated. A couple hammer shanks replaced. Tuned 8 years ago, played rarely since. It has been moved to present location so it could do with a tuning. Soundboard is not damaged or repaired per my piano technician who rebuilt it. New, shiny brass pedals. Excerpt from bluebookofpiano.com Manufacturers of Krakauer Bros. grand, upright, console and spinet pianos. In the course of their long and successful career Krakauer Bros. have been a family concern and never allied with combinations outside the organization. This house was founded in 1869 by Simon Krakauer, an excellent musician, who came to America in 1853 with his son David. The manufacture of Krakauer pianos is entirely confined to one high grade quality-the Krakauer piano-which is available in a wide variety of attractive designs in Grand and Vertical models. For many years the Krakauer is noted for exceptionally artistic and uniquely attractive case designs, durable construction, and an exceptionally rich tonal quality. They have successfully pioneered the patented closed back construction which permits the piano to be placed anywhere in the room like a grand piano and without the necessity of placing it with its back to the wall. One of the most successful models in this design is the Krakauer "Serenade" which because it can be faced out in a room like a grand piano has a "grand like" free flowing quality of tone. Most of their spinet pianos also contain the exclusive Acoustic Tone Chambers which strikingly re-enforce and enhance the tone. The Krakauer line is definitely a "Decorator" line of styling. Every model is authentic in its derivation and is not just a conglomeration of senseless frills. All this is based upon the close attention of the "one family" element in the organization, with an honest and intimate interest in every piano made. Krakauer Bros have no mass-production. A unique, exclusive feature of all Krakauer pianos is the new Bridge Braced Back construction, claimed by Krakauer engineers to be the strongest and most durable in the world. Krakauer Bros. have supplied their pianos to a large number of great musicians of today and the past who have, without solicitation, given eloquent testimony and endorsement to the worth and quality of the Krakauer piano. There are over 1,000 Krakauer pianos in the Public Schools of New York City alone. The factory was a modern, light five story corner building located at 115 East 138th Street, New York CityPlease email me if you'd like to see and inspect this piano.
