Amazing Steinway

[Farrell]

I don't understand what you are referring to with "most of the work is a faux finish"?

  With the exception of the lid, sides....most of the work is a faux finish.

    I noticed that also Rich. It's fairly obvious that this was a plain-jane L in 1923 and someone not only "reveneered" it, but also changed and added quite a bit to the case. It does appear to be nice veneer work. The inside of the lid, the inside of the fallboard, the backside of the music desk and the inside of the rim appear to be the original plain-jane mahogany veneer. They added the two-inch wide piece around the inside of the lid perimeter to allow the fancy thick lid edge.

    Interesting though. Does fancy veneer work really command that kind of $$?

      This piano has been on ebay before, Terry. Whoever dressed up this piano did a very nice job. They don't have the close ups so it isn't obvious that the woodwork is not original.

      For instance, the lid does not have the same grain pattern as that flap on the key slip. Now who would make an art grand and not match grain patterns? I saw other things last time around - I just don't recall them now.

      Still a unique piece, though.
