Entire mechanism / action restored in . Iron frame re-guilded, piano re-strung using best German strings, plus casework French polished in . This is a genuine sale of my beloved piano, due to a forced move and having nowhere to house it. As a composer (and piano teacher) I have played many different makes of old grand pianos. The bottom line for me was, if I can't afford a Steinway I'd choose a Feurich. Lesser known than some household names, they are solidly built, have a wonderful tone, and will last a lifetime. Free delivery and 5-year guarantee from the restorer. £ (Fixed Price) Please contact me for photos/information. Phone (afternoon/eve) or text with convenient time to call you back. Serious enquiries only please.

Still a family firm, they established a new workshop and a partnership with a company called Euterpe, making 300 grand pianos, and uprights, a year by the end of the s.
