1905 Ernst Gabler & Brothers Upright
| |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
This piano is a perfect example of a relatively little known piano maker that made very high quality instruments. Besides featuring a very attractive and intricate case, this piano also utilizes a Wessel, Nickel & Gross action (one of the highest quality actions ever made), beautifully constructed back and a great sound. We refinished this piano to it's original beauty and tone during spring and summer 2005. |
