Description
Like vintage wines, pianos also have their golden years. This STEINWAY GRAND PIANO Model M circa 1925-27 is as amazing as it gets in this genre. This is an example of the spectacular craftsmanship of Steinway in its best most sought after years. Ebony and ivory with exquisite proto-Art Deco touches of chrome/nickel hardware delineated with a red accent line. The price reflects that it will need some normal (according to Steinway) repair and maintenance to bring it back to factory condition.
The serial number and itemized specifics will be given to serious bidders and the opportunity to try the piano and see it in all its glory will be by appointment only.
Please call (505) 277-0177 to make an appointment or for more information.
The lucky new owner will be fiscally responsible for the moving of this instrument to its new home.
This piano belonged to Thomas L. Givler's wife and was in her family for nearly 60 years. It was purchased directly from Steinway after being reconditioned in the 1950's and was cherished and played until her recent untimely death. Mr. Givler is a great fan of Performance Today and All Things Considered and a devoted listener of KUNM.
Do not let this rare opportunity to show your own support of this Public Radio station and an appreciation of the historical Steinway legacy of piano workmanship literally slip through your fingers. The winner will be an exemplary example of altruism that comes with great generosity with an outstanding dividend a memorable performance indeed!
