Classic Schaff Brothers studio-grand.  

(The studio grand is one size -a couple of inches- longer then a baby-grand.)

The style is what I guess is Art Deco / Bauhaus / Modern style -geometric rather then curvy and organic.  Simple and -I have to say- masculine in form.  

Dark brown finish, -almost -but not quite black.  It is a lovely color when it gets some light on it.  I refinished it about 4 years ago.  (And I am a professional wood-worker so I think I can say I did it right.    Have a look at my other work in my  Customer's Scrapbook.)  I have been touching it up lately as well  There is some annoying and persistent dimpling from some the silicone spray a previous owner used.

At home in Henderson Colorado (a bit north of Denver -between Thornton and Commerce City.  

    The actions are very nice and consistent across the key board.  I bought it largely for the actions as I like a comparatively light touch.  (The finish wasn't so good then.)  There is one string that I need to tweak every time I play it.  It takes just a second to fiddle the left string on E an octave and a half above middle C.  I have to bring it back into agreement with the other two strings.   You can see the tuning wrench in the picture above.  I will -in fact- throw in a whole kit of tuning stuff.  

It will need some serious tuning overall.   I haven't had the time in the last couple of years to give it the time and effort it deserves. I had a good-old-boy come out to tune and tweek it about 6-8 months ago.  He said it was a great old piano -and well worth spending some time and money to bring it back up to 100%.  (But he undoubtedly had himself in mind as being the recipient of this money.)  None-the-less, a few new pins or the little corrugated metal things they use in the hole of a recalcitrant pin would solve the problem.  There are 3cracks in the sound board.  I'd leave them there till such time as I got it restrung /re-pinned.  New felts would not be amiss, but I'd say this is low on the list unless you want to play VERY LOUDLY.  

Here we see the name etc. above middle C.  (I added the green for illustration because the glare was so bad.)

The bench got lost before I got the piano.  If you liked -I could make an art-deco piano bench.  Have a look at the work I do for collectors -'ticularally my coffee table display cases.  (A piano bench is nothing more then a small display coffee table with a seat instead of a window.)
