Description

Kemble Piano

We are excited to offer our lightly refurbished Kemble piano, a true gem for any music lover. This instrument has undergone a light refurbishment to restore its original beauty and enhance its performance.

Key Features of this Refurbishment:

Internal Mechanics Overhaul:
The action has been meticulously regulated to ensure optimal playability. Worn hammers and missing strings have been replaced. Whipping straps and springs replaced where required along with backcheck adjustment.

Soundboard and Case Restoration: Our skilled technicians have checked for any cracks in the soundboard, ensuring rich, resonant sound quality.

Thorough Cleaning: Every component has been cleaned, from the interior to the keys, ensuring a pristine appearance and smooth operation. All moving parts have been properly lubricated for a seamless playing experience and any felt work needing replacement, replaced.

This piano is overstrung, under dampered and with a solid iron frame.

An overstrung and under dampered piano with a solid iron frame offers several significant advantages.
An overstrung piano provides increased string tension for a powerful, resonant sound and enhances tuning stability.

Under dampered pianos offer several benefits, including longer sustain and enhanced resonance, which create a rich, warm sound. They provide a wider dynamic range and allow for more expressive playing, making smooth transitions between notes easier. The extended vibration results in richer overtones, contributing to a full, complex tonal quality. Additionally, these pianos encourage creative possibilities, enabling unique soundscapes and improvisation.

Meanwhile, the solid iron frame ensures durability and longevity, maintaining consistent tuning despite environmental changes and effectively transmitting vibrations for a balanced tonal quality.

This perfect trio combination makes such pianos ideal for both casual players and professionals seeking superior performance.

The piano has been expertly tuned for perfect pitch.

This Kemble piano is ready for its new home, offering both beauty and exceptional sound quality.
