Instrument Description
The Sohmer Piano Company was one of the last American piano manufacturers that hand-built their pianos. They are well known for their exceptionally high quality and workmanship, and they built pianos for well over a century. Here is a custom made, one-of-a-kind piano built on the platform of Sohmer's famous "Cupid" model baby grand design. This piano is made of exquisite walnut wood, and is adorned with breathtaking Renaissance inspired oil-paintings which cover the majority of the cabinet. The lid of the piano depicts three beautiful maidens relaxing by the water at the edge of a flower garden - the detail and color of the flowers and greenery is absolutely amazing! The rest of the piano has painted scenes of flowers, ribbons, jesters, and urns which all come together to create an overall romantic and old-world feel. The legs and pedal lyre of the piano are decorated with ornately carved ribbons and tassels which are actually finished in dull antique gold. The dull gold will become much more prominent after restoration and cleaning of the finish. The cabinet of this piano is being restored by a very skilled oil-painting restoration expert, and the internal mechanisms are being restored to like-new condition.
Computerized player mechanisms can be installed if desired, and a matching bench is included.
Pianos of this caliber are exceedingly rare and nearly impossible to find in today's market.
