C. Bechstein L grand (1925)

Bechstein is one of the great iconic brands manufactured in Germany. It is ranked with Steinway, Fazioli, Blüthner and Bosendorfer. This piano was bought from us with a full authentic rebuild approximately 8 years ago. The hammers, strings, pins, etc. are therefore still quite new with little wear and the piano is available at quite an attractive price.

Yamaha G2 (1968)

This piano was manufactured in a period that many people consider to be the best stage of Yamaha’s development. The scale of production was smaller than it is today and the pianos received more detailed attention. Given its age, this piano has maintained a very good general tone quality and range. Although it has had use over its lifetime, this has been moderate, therefore the wear and tear on the mechanism is not excessive. The piano has been thoroughly serviced. We have also french polished over the original finish, which has restored to the piano to a warm, rich light brown finish. This piano is suitable for use up to an advanced level, if constraint of size or budget is a factor. NOT YET READY FOR VIEWING.

Bösendorfer (1974)

Bösendorfer is one of the great iconic brands and falls into the category of fine, hand-built pianos. It is ranked with Steinway, Fazioli, Blüthner and Bechstein. Relatively young Bösendorfers are quite rare in South Africa. This piano was bought new by a professional musician who has owned it until now. Approximately 5 years ago it had a hammer replacement with authentic parts and we have done further comprehensive servicing to bring the piano back into an excellent condition. It is now a very good representative of Bösendorfers distinctive tone and touch.
