All the pianos I offer are in reliable condition, ready for daily use. I clean, lubricate, regulate and repair each one (as needed) to insure they are in top condition when sold. I back that up with a warranty that covers all mechanical aspects of the piano. IMPORTANT: The warranty applies specifically to pianos sold in my service area. Pianos sold out of my service area may not qualify for a warranty or there may be an additional charge. If you call with a problem, sticky key etc, you receive an expedited appointment to get your issue resolved asap. This protects your investment and assures that you'll spend time playing and practicing, not waiting for a repair.
If you don't see what you're looking for, drop me an email. I'll keep an eye out for the piano you want.

1853 Bosendorder Parlor Grand Piano
Not something you see everyday. At 173 years old, this piano is, to quote Larry David "pretty, pretty, pretty good".
The story: piano came to me when the owner passed. As best we can tell, she had a restoration done on the piano around 10 years ago. There is no paperwork for this so its only documentation comes from family members. My assessment indicates a new sound board and bridges installed, the cast iron plate refinished, restrung with new pinblock, new hammers installed on original shanks, new backcheck leather (escaine), new damper felt, new plastic key tops, case refinished. The workmanship of the restoration is of high quality. Someone was paid a handsome amount to accomplish this, in my professional opinion.
The piano has the original Viennese-style action in good working condition. It does not feel like a modern piano action although quite playable. It wasn't until the late 1800s that the modern, double-escapment action was being used by Bosendorfer.
My intention is to find a good home for this piano's next 50 years. The price for this instrument is difficult to gauge. I am willing to consider reasonable offers that take into account the extreme age of this piano (it's rare), its current condition (beautiful) and its use as a living example of the early days of piano. I'm not in a hurry to sell. If you're familiar with this type of instrument, you'll have a realistic idea of its value. There are several online in the U.S. with prices north of $50,000.00. I'm thinking less than that for this piano.
I will post a video soon of the piano being played. Spoiler, it sounds like a 5' 4" grand piano! It's located in Stockton CA and serious buyers are encouraged to come play.

1932 Steinway Model M Parlor Grand Piano
Here's a lovely piano leading a charmed life. Built in 1932 (s/n 274737), the owners had it refinished in the mid-'80s. Then new action parts were installed in 2007: Renner hammers and Abel shanks and repetitions. The tone is colorful and warm with the Steinway bass we all love. The keytops are natural, original and pristine. This is a wonderful example of Steinway's 5' 7" flagship parlor grand piano.

1898 Knabe Upright Piano
That's right, this is an 1898 piano in remarkable condition. At 54" tall, the bass tone is something to behold. Very lively soundboard, beautiful ebony and ivory keytops. This is not a fast-repeating action so if you're thinking about buying this and then practicing your Rachmaninov, fuggedaboutit. Otherwise, you won't find a nicer 126 year old piano. Very easy on the eyes. Very comfortable, over-stuffed matching storage duet bench included as is one in-home tuning and one year warranty. Also comes with key to lock fallboard.
