Phenomenal piano. Beautiful deep growly bass, clear round tenor and treble with amazing harmonics and sustain that won't quit. Typical "American" sound that was so prevalent in fine upper level pianos of the 1930's. Brand new Abel Encore hammers, shanks, knuckles and flanges. Action is fast, balanced and ultra-responsive. The slightest touch causes the note to sound and makes playing pianissimo a pleasure. A smile will come to your face as soon as your fingers press the keys. Great price on a great instrument.
