Carl Ebel115k 2005147x119x58 cmused2.690,00 EUR
Carl Ebel 115k - English cottage style.
The instrument came back to us after having been rented for some time by one of our customers. It has been played by this customer, who was a re-beginner, for a period of about three years, after which period of time this piano player decided on a Sauter piano, which actually i s a lot better in many regards. Nevertheless, the Carl Ebel piano is a respectable instrument for beginners.

Kawai120ca. 1970147x125x58 cmused5.990,00 EUR
This instrument is a complete alteration: we have practically rebuilt it. Inside we inserted a forty year old Kawai piano. The reason: we liked the outer appearance of this antique instrument and the original mechanic was damaged too much to be restored, also the original instrument has been an overdamper, and that is hardly something one would want today.

Ferdinand Manthey151x132x66 cmused6.390,00 EUR
Subtle chamber sound. Inside and outside completely new assembled and restored. Ferdinand Manthey is still known for his innovative 'petty piano', called "Klaviano", which he build 1936 and in the following years and which became iconic - it still is an icon of design and in design history.
Although our piano is a big one, it sound is by no means bulky, so that this instrument is super for being played in an appartement house. If the customer wishes the instrument can be upgraded with a moderator.
Noble optics by way of design in the style of the twenties and further by a shellac surface dimly glimmering in black.

Grotrian Steinweg1201935146x120x65 cmused6.790,00 EUR
We have completely restored the acoustic system of this Grotrian piano. We gave the instrument a set of new bass strings, a set of new steel strings, new tuning pegs and a new bass bridge. The action has been newly adjusted, and within all this regulating work we also filed the original hammers, which were still in pretty good condition. Filing the hammers is equal to shaping them or rather restoring their original shape, because the hammers can show a lot of indendation as a result of frequent and heavy playing, but in this case the indents made by the strings weren't so deep. - The sound of the piano can be called "transparent", "lucid" and "far bearing". - The surface of the instrument has been given a new hot-spray coat in black polyester varnish (a special piano lacquer) and in additon has been high-polished after that.

L. Neufeld153x143x70 cmused7.750,00 EUR
L. Neufeld was a well known piano manufacturer in Berlin, who participated in the piano-forte boom of the so called "Gründerzeit", the "Founder Epoch" 1871 - 1873, dating from the foundation of the Second Reich on January 18th 1871 till the great stock market crash of 1873, which ruined thousands of Germans. But Neufeld survived financially, even prospered. His business company existed until 1937. -

Our instrument is a magnificent specimen, probably build between 1890 and 1900. It's height: a proud 1 meter and 53 cm. - We have renovated the instrument completely. A clear and full bass and a fully voiced middle string segment give this piano the typically nostalgic sound so well loved in instruments at the turn of the century of 1900. Not only it's form close to perfection is impressive, also the shellac and walnut surface is a feast to the eyes.

sold
Grotrian Steinweg130cm1923150x130x67 cmused9.300,00 EUR
A graceful combination of the Art Déco style and the functional style of the German "Bauhaus". Of course, in the inside the instrument has been completely renewed from the acoustic system all the way to the action. The opaquely glimmering final polish of shellac gives the instrument an appearance of nobility. As a result of the thin layered coating the lines, edges and corners of the piano appear to be finer than they would, in comparison, appear with a polyester surface. - The sond: very warm bass, a sound that is, in a way, "thick" and "juicy" without being too massive. Discant and middle layer have the typically nostalgic sound of Grotrian pianos of a certain age.

The classic Feurich 122 Universal with its exceptional price-performance ratio, its great value for money bargain, is almost a 'must buy'. This piano has a very typical feature: its dark-velvety sound.
Walnut satin-gloss is trendy again. And it is in accordance with actual trends to darker woods we can observe in furniture design and manufacturing. By the way, this model is also available in walnut high gloss polish.


Hamilton/London150x130x60 cmnew7.200,00 EUR
Would you believe it? A total 'cherry', a brand-new piano in an antique english case. Sometimes the instruments are too old inside to restore them, but the case work is still too good and too valuable just to chuck it on the garbage heap. So it suggests itself, so to speak, to build a new piano into the old case work.

SauterLemberg 1142011144x114x60 cmnew8.290,00 EUR
In concern to its surface, one can say, that this instrument follows the modern trends in furniture to darker, satin-glossed woods.
Inside you have - of course - a Renner action, Abel hammerheads, the best of mountain spruce (only trees grown above 1000 meter altitude) for the wood of the sound board, a Kluge keyboard, Diamant tunig pegs... Everything, starting with the material going to the manufacturing and the workmanship, is made in Germany. That goes without saying for Sauter, and you can take it for granted with Sauter instruments, but this has become very rare on the piano market (where you often don't know what you buy under the displayed label).

Sauter commented on this feature: "The tone wood for the M-Line uprights and Omega grands comes from the Val de Fiemme in South Tyrol. The outstanding characteristic of this spruce wood is that it grows evenly with a fine grain which is why it was also the preferred choice of famous Italian violin makers and, above all, the Stradivarius dynasty. This precious wood is only available in limited quantity." Mark their words!

SauterOmega new45.900,00 EUR
Sauter Pianos are already among the best pianos of the world. Not to speak of their Grand Pianos...

Here are some - official - notes on Sauter instruments:

"Firstly, Sauter pianos are renowned for their outstanding sound, their fine touch and their unique expressiveness. Secondly, they are superbly finished and a delight to the eye - in perfect harmony with modern lifestyles."

"Since a piano makes a statement simply by its size, it must also be pleasing to the eye and be in harmony with its surroundings. This is the reason why Sauter makes pianos which look wonderful and fit exceptionally well into different environments.
This is ensured by balanced designs and a wide variety of finishes, as well as choice materials, perfect hand-craftsmanship and superior quality of finish. Fine native woods are given a satin or mirror finish polish or given a matt beeswax finish by hand. Design details emphasize modern features."

A review by the makers themselves which we can confirm, wholeheartedly. -
Here's a short example: 'Youtube-Link'




SauterKonzert 275 new98.000,00 EUR
Overbidding the Steinway D? Well, that's not, what this is about. It's about "rethinking" the concert grand piano - without giving an imitation of the market leader.
The sonorous bass you would generally expect of such an instrument is just one of the essential qualities of the concert grand piano 275, others are a great bandwidth of sound colour and sound intensity down to its depth. The discant is not only steely brilliant but full of warm dazzling spectral force, singing-enchantment and a lucid transparency all the way up to the highest sound layers. And at the same time the sound carries far and strong.
Sauter manages to achieve all this by using titanium-duplex, titanium pegs and ebony pegs in the discant.
Furthermore one has to highlight and emphasize the easy going action, a feature which is not given by many other instruments. The Sauter concert grand piano will respond to the most subtle of your key touches. - Fantastic repetition. The coronation feat of the Sauter concert grand piano is an almost unheard of equilibrium of sound dynamics. - To cut a long story short: make a date and test the instrument. Here's a short example: 'Youtube-Link'

In principle we can repair and work over allmost every used piano in such a way that it attains the status of a completely new instrument. Beginning with the acoustic system with new bass strings and new steel strings, going on to new tuning pegs as well as a completely restored sounding board and a new Dilgnit sound post. Furthermore the action (mechanical playing system) gets new hammer heads, we put in new damper felts, new underlever frame cushions, new key lining; or we provide an absolutely new Renner mechanism and a whole new key board etc. etc. Last but by no means least we give the surface a treatment with shellac, hand polished of course, or a new varnish in high gloss polyester black oder any other color the customer might have in mind. Also a new veneer of burk wood or maple or walnut or cherry is possible.

Information concerning digital pianos:

Digital pianos are available any time so far you settle for one of the two leading brands: Kawai or Yamaha. Any other new instruments we do not have in our show rooms for the time being can be ordered within two days for our customers.

The advantages of a digital piano as opposed to the regular acoustic piano are obvious:
a) You can play and make music any time of the day - and the night! - without maltreating your neighbor, you play with a head set.
b) A digital piano is usually much cheaper than an acoustic piano.
c) There are no current costs, for example paying a piano tuner, and you don't need a freight company for transportation when you move to a new home.
d) A digital piano takes up less space than a piano (or grand piano!).

But - there are but's...:

If you wanted the real piano sound, your digital piano leaves you high and dry: even the best and most expensive digital piano does not reach the authentic sound of an acoustic piano.That is a fact and it will always be a fact. Let alone for physical reasons, we don't want to discuss at lenght right here on this page, but which we will gladly demonstrate, if care to drop by and take a better look at our instruments in reality.

Maybe you already have an acoustic piano, and you wish to participate in the advantage of a digital piano being playable all around the clock. Then we could introduce to you one of our silent systems which we can install in your piano supplementarily. We sell a lot of pianos with a build-in silent system, and we can also install one additionally in any acoustic piano. We would enjoy to enrichen your acoustic piano with a new silent system. Or we could sell you a new piano complete with a silent system. The price for an aditional installation amounts to something between € 1.300,00 and € 1.800,00 depending on the system and the piano. For a grand piano the aditional installation of a silent system amounts to about € 2.000,00.
Why don't you visit us and test some of the silent systems and the pianos or grand pianos we have in our exhibition rooms. Of course you can also call us and we will arrange to come along, take a look at your instrument and give you a piece of advice about what could be done about your special instrument.
