George Steck Art Case 6' Grand







Beautiful rosewood art case circa 1912. Completely rebuilt by Delwin Fandrich, piano designer and builder.

I rebuilt this piano in the mid-1990s. At the time I replaced the soundboard, repinned the bridges and replaced the pinblock and strings. Later I replaced the major action components such as the wippens and hammershanks. The hammers are cold-pressed (made by Ronsen) with timbral characteristics very close to the originals. The piano has a warm, dynamic sound reminiscent of pianos from the early 20th century. It plays more like a modern piano.

Extremely good price: $12,500
