Instrument Description
This is one of only 2 of these rare pianos we've seen come through our shop in the past 15 years. Bush & Gerts was one of Chicago’s premier piano builders, and they built high quality, expensive pianos from 1885-1942. This piano is made of beautifully carved mahogany wood, and is in the highly desirable Louis XV style. Note the detailed intricate carving on the legs, music rack, and scalloped case which give this piano an elegant and formal appearance. These carved pianos were the highest grade, most expensive pianos that makers produced. Because of their high prices, they were not sold in huge quantities. As a result, they are exceedingly rare today. This piano has been restored and refinished to like new condition.
Computerized player mechanisms can be installed if desired. A matching bench is included.
