Robert Westphall Piano in Burl Walnut

About the Item

This is a very beautiful piano crafted by the German piano maker Robert Westphal. The company was based in Berlin Germany, a region famous for piano making, this company embodied everything that is great in piano making - handcrafted tradition using the finest of materials and processes performed by the best piano making craftsmen. This particular piano has been finished in a beautiful burl walnut case fitted with original candelabra. The tone of this piano is very mellow, with deep bass through to singing treble. The action has been rebuilt using modern components that are sympathetic to the period the piano was built, and the piano has been restrung using the finest of piano music wire. This is a beautiful musical instrument and furniture piece that will be the centre point of any environment. Piano dimensions: 128cm high, 150cm wide, 66cm deep All our range has been tailored to meet the specific needs of the different levels of practice and performance, aesthetics and budget. For your safety all of our pianos come complete with a minimum 5 year warranty and we give you a buy back plan designed to help you upgrade to a higher standard of piano in the future. We haven't been able to find a lot about Robert Westphal as a piano maker other than he started making pianos in Berlin in 1894. Over the last 2 years we have had the pleasure of restoring 4 pianos made by this maker and have found all of them to be extremely well made, so well made we have developed a very high respect for this maker. The scaling (which is how you can tell a very well made piano apart from a not so well made piano) is very precise resulting in a very resonant and tonally superior instrument. The company's choice of action parts are also very high, the actions all play well, very responsive allowing for a pianist individual expression to shine through. A big 10/10 for this piano maker!
