The unusual design is packed with innovations that are unique to this model, and praised by piano aficionados.

The beautiful mahogany casework, virtually unblemished, shows a quarter-cut featured panel to the front.

Both top/front panels hinge upwards and can easily be removed to expose the cast iron 'harp' frame.

The mechanism hides below, and is accessible via the front panel, or by releasing a bolt to the rear, so the piano opens up like a book; hinged to the bass end. 

Action, hammers, strings, frame, soundboard and pin block are all in excellent condition.

The piano has a decorative back panel too, showing a massive rising sun!

The piano has been thoroughly inspected by my technician, serviced, tuned, and passed for many years of future use.

A unique feature of this particular piano is the serial number 10888.

I look out for 888 in a serial number, as it is considered lucky.

In 2009 I sold a piano with 888 in the serial number to producer Paul Epworth, for the emerging Florence (and the machine). 

Here's your chance..... get lucky, and a real conversation piece of a piano that performs and sounds great!
