1983 Hamburg Steinway mod A (6"2") for sale

[Overs Pianos]

Fellow Pianotech listers,

While I understand that the list is not intended to be used for 
people or technicians selling stuff, I ask you all to make an 
exception for me on this occasion, to help an old friend who urgently 
needs to sell his Steinway grand piano. I promised to help Julian Lee 
out with disposing of this piano since he is an old friend and client.

Julian Lee has an illustrious past as a first class jazz pianist and 
musical arranger. He remains a long time friend of George Shearing 
after spending several years working with George as a pianist and 
musical arranger in the US. Born in New Zealand, Julian has performed 
for a wide range of audiences in Australia, New Zealand and the USA. 
Now over eighty, he has retired with his wife Val to the Southern 
Highlands, about an hour's drive south west of Sydney.

Julian purchased his model A new in 1983. Just over a year ago he 
asked me about selling the piano to fund his ongoing retirement. To 
return the piano to first class condition for sale, we pulled the 
plate, reshaped and hardened the capo and duplex bars (Steinway now 
do this as a routine part of their piano manufacture, but they have 
only being doing it for a couple of years), reshaped the agraffe 
string holes, refinished the plate, cleaned the sound board, repaired 
several small polyester marks around the casework, reshaped the 
hammers (the piano hasn't been played a great deal), checked over the 
action for any centres which were out of specification regarding 
friction, replaced the heel cloth and damper felt, and re-assembled 
the instrument. This piano is now a very good example of a model A 
from the early eighties (and yes, I resisted the temptation to make 
design changes to the piano, so it remains essentially faithful to 
its original specification).

I haven't photographed the piano but this can be arranged (happy to 
send images via email). If you are interested in this piano please 
email me privately using the link below.

We can crate the piano for transport to anywhere on the planet. If 
you'd like to play it first, autumn in Sydney is a beautiful time of 
year to visit, and air fares are reasonable during the shoulder 
season. Come down to Sydney for a short break, play Julian's piano 
while you're here and take a tour of our small piano factory.

Thanks,
Ron O.
