I was given one of the Kimballs used in the 1984 Olympic opening ceremony.
The original matching bench is included.First off, I already have this piano in my posession and have done a bit of research but was hoping someone with a lot more knowledge here could give me some advice being that I do not know much about pianos (not my primary instrument). Wood is what resonates to make a pianos tone quality how do you think plastic and particle board sounds?Ĭomputerized player mechanisms can be installed if desired. A vintage baby grand piano like this one is made of top quality REAL wood, no plastic or particle board. We see these cheap new pianos suffering severe deterioration after only a few years due to the lack of quality materials and workmanship. You get particle board cabinets, plastic action parts, acrylic veneer, and green unseasoned wood. You can buy a new Asian imported baby grand piano for well under $10,000, but you get what you pay for. Modern manufacturers count on people buying small pianos for aesthetics rather than for function, so they are able to make small new pianos of lesser quality that sell. Today, modern piano manufacturers tend to put their better quality, materials, and workmanship in their larger, more expensive pianos. It is made of elegantly carved Circassian walnut wood, and is of the French Provincial style.
This little piano was built by the Whitney Piano Company, one of the subsidiaries of the famous Kimball Piano Company of Chicago. This is a lovely apartment size baby grand from the golden era of piano building.
