George Rogers-O'Briain Pianos

George Rogers

 

Restored, Rebuilt & Reconditioned 1935 George Rogers & Sons Baby Grand Piano

A stunning, expressive piano of the highest quality, with a soft rounded tone and light to medium responsive touch. Suitable for all grades and all levels of player, this George Rogers is a year long restoration, with great attention to detail so that the final product is identical to when it first left the factory floor. We have replaced the bass dampers, refinished the strings and soundboard, reconditioned the action, and have stripped and rebuilt the casing with 10 coats of laquer followed by antique waxing. The brass and screws are polished to new and the original keys are white, flush and in pristine condition. A nice instrument to play, versatile and dynamic for its age. Comes with large, fully restored double traditional stool with big storage.

George Rogers worked for the piano company Collard & Collard, before setting up his own piano making business. He would go on to become as well known for his pianos, if not more so, than his previous employers. 
This particular piano was manufactured in 1935, and it has a few features that would have made it stand out against the rest. It has a full 88 note keyboard, with original ivory and ebony keys. It has the superior roller action fitted and even has a short prop, as well as the full prop used to support the top of the piano when raised. Octagonal shaped legs are another nice feature of this piano, as is the repolished Fiddle-Back mahogany casework. The keyboard has been restored, as has the action. This really is a very attractive piano, as well as a good quality musical instrument.

Piano comes with new adjustable matching stool, two year extenable warranty, free nationwide delivery, and is tuned on day of arrival. Tuning thereafter is 100 annually.
