A superb quality, large upright piano, made in England in 1998 by Welmar - widely regarded as one of the finest (and last) of the great British piano makers. This is a beautifully crafted instrument with real presence, both in its sound and appearance.

 

Carefully and professionally prepared by ourselves, the piano has been thoroughly checked, cleaned, and polished inside and out, including tuning, regulation, and voicing. It’s now performing at its very best and is ready to provide many years of reliable service.

 

Welmar and Marshall & Rose ‘126’ pianos of this era are identical, all being built at the Whelpdale, Maxwell & Codd factory in Clapham. These pianos are highly respected for their rich tonal character and smooth, responsive action, making them a popular choice among musicians and teachers alike. With strong historical ties to Blüthner, you can hear that influence in the warm, full, and expressive tone this piano produces.

 

Suitable for players of all levels through to advanced and professional pianists, this is an excellent opportunity to own a high quality British built instrument that will inspire regular playing, support musical development, and bring lasting enjoyment.

Tone and tuning

 

Outstanding rich tone with the ideal balance between brightness and warmth, and a very large dynamic range. Excellent full bass and the treble is clear and bell like. Tuned to concert pitch (A=440). Features a 3rd ‘mute’ pedal for quiet practice. This piano must be seen and heard to appreciate its quality.

 

Keyboard and action

 

The full 88 note keyboard is in excellent condition and the British 'Langer 100' action has just been regulated so plays smoothly across the whole keyboard.

 

Hammers and strings

 

Not much wear at all in the hammers - it has been played only fairly lightly but has been tuned regularly through the years by the previous owners who purchased the piano new. Strings in excellent condition - almost as new.

 

Sound board

 

Excellent condition spruce, with no cracks or splits

 

Case

 

In excellent condition throughout - a traditional style design, dark mahogany gloss case. Matching stool is included in the price.
