My family purchased this lovely piano in good condition in April 2001. In 2002 or 2003, the piano's action was fully restored and rebuilt by hand. Since then, it has been very well maintained and used only as a single player piano in my home. The piano has its original ivory keys, with no chips or cracks. The sound is deep and rich, and the piano rarely seems in need of tuning. Other than some cosmetic blemishes in the piano's finish and natural yellowing of the keys, it is in great condition. This incredible instrument still has years of music left to give. This would be a wonderful piano for a young/new professional or semi-professional pianist or a great addition to a recording studio.
