Bluthner Overview
Not the best photo but you get the idea - its a HUGE piano and is simply DIEING to be snapped up by a musician
Original Lyre
Very impressive original lyre in excellent physical condition
Bluthner Fallboard Logo
The mark of quality. Please note the wooden keys in this photo. See next photo for more info..
Keytops
At the moment I just need to get around to installing new keytops. This is a quick and easy task so please get in touch for an update
Bluthner Hammers
Are those nice quality & condition hammers or what? Yes, I think you'll find that they are!! But wait until you hear the sound they produce! THEN you'll KNOW how good they are.
Dampers
I always think the dampers are like the unsung hero of every piano. When they do their job well nobody notices them but when they go wrong they are very quickly complained about. Thankfully, you won't notice these dampers :)
Bluthner Serial Number
The serial number of 109828 places this Bluthner in 1925. So nice and modern then!
Huge Iron Bluthner frame
What an impressive sight to behold - the iron frame of a 9ft 2in Bluthner concert grand piano. Just needs a dusting off that's all (notice the part where I have actually dusted)
Aliquot Stringin
Here is the patent notice that relates to the Bluthner aliquot stringing technique
Aliquot Not there
Notice that row of pegs to the right? They are supposed to be holding the famous Aliquot / 4th string for each of the treble notes. For some reason they have been removed from this piano but could be put back in if you had the time, inclination and money :)
Aliquote Not there 2
Notice those screws? They original held a 4th pin for each note. Again, this could be put back to the original state if required.
Agraffes
Agraffes present and correct. Jolly good.
Tuning Pins
Tuning pins are all straight and in good strong condition ready for decades of use
Original Bluthner legs
Very impressive original Bluthner grand piano legs. Nice castors too.
Plate Logo
Just a closeup of the Bluthner badge on the iron frame
Corner Damage
You can't have EVERYTHING right? There are some areas of damage on the casework of this piano. Nothing major, but certianly worth pointing out.
