This is a classic Blüthner boudoir grand whose proportions offer generous sonority and the capacity for a wide dynamic range. It has the bespoke patent action design which gives the pianist the advantage of a light responsive touch. This quality of touch, combined with the rich singing tone, made Blüthner pianos the choice of many famous pianists and composers such as Debussy, Busoni, Rachmaninov and Greig.
This particular grand piano has been rebuilt in our workshop, including new replacement hammers and dampers as well as being completely restrung. The key coverings are of ivory, which we have cleaned and buffed, and we have French polished the beautiful rosewood case. Having replaced all the main components we have then regulated the action, tuned the piano to concert pitch and voiced the hammers. The result is a piano with a rich warm tone and lightish touch which has all the style and panache of a fine Blüthner grand made in Leipzig during the early part of the last century. In our opinion, it is one of the best mid-sized grands made by Blüthner and is ideal for medium to large domestic spaces.
