- My wife and I are selling our recently inherited Lauter Upright Grand piano.
- Here are the details:
-
- - Lauter Upright Grand Piano
- - 52" tall
- - string speaking length: ~48" (as near as I can tell without
- measuring)
- - mahogany cabinetry
- - all wood action, ivory keys (you won't find this anymore)
- - Queen Anne stool (old-fashioned, probably an antique--lovely)
-
- I was told that this piano was built it 1904. We've had the cabinetry worked on
- (refinished), and the keys polished (ivory yellows over time, buffing helps
- restore them to their original luster). In addition, the action has been worked
- on. Everything is in working order. The soundboard and pin-block are fully
- intact. The piano has been rough tuned up to pitch (A=440). All pedals, etc.,
- are fully functional. There are two things that need to be done to the piano:
-
- 1. the action needs to be tightened up: the keys knock somewhat, and
- 2. although the piano has been tuned, it will need to be tuned again
- after it is moved.
-
- Other than those two things, it is a very playable instrument. We are selling
- it because we just don't have the room for it right now. It's in our first
- floor living room and really doesn't fit in with our modern decor. If we
- could've gotten it up to the second floor we would've opted to keep it.
- We've put quite a bit of money into and are willing to let it go at cost.
-
- The price is $1000, *FIRM*
-
- As of this price decrease we are losing money on the cost of the
- restoration. Hence, we cannot lower the price any further.
-
- !! PLEASE: *SERIOUS* INQUIRIES ONLY !!
-
- Shipping is solely your responsibility (I can recommend an excellent company
- that specializes in moving pianos for not too much money).

- Call 908/905-4934 or 908/522-6241 and leave a message for Dave and Donna.
