Steinway Console Piano withOriginal Bench, Needs Restoration, Vertical/Upright
Please read entire description. Steinway 42 console piano. All keys DO play but the dampers are old and crusty and “sizzle” when the key is released. Tuning pin torque is surprisingly decent (40 in/lbs). What bridges I can see with the lower frame panel removed look good. I have noted some pinblock/back post separation (see photo) that will eventually need to be addressed. There have been some previous soundboard “repairs” via screws and glue (the “blob it in” technique) that should be addressed during the recommended rebuild. I think the cabinet is Mahogany and has a very nice, figured grain. The finish is somewhat faded and flaking in a few places. There is a piece of veneer missing on the right front corner of the music shelf and some loose veneer that needs regluing. Hammers look very well used. This is an excellent candidate for restoration. I’ve been a full time piano technician 30+ years. I’m glad to answer any questions you have about this instrument.

Antique Upright Piano Bush And Lane circa 1913, 88 key, perfect for restoration
Antique Upright Piano, made by Bush And Lane circa 1913, 88 key. White keys are real Ivory and black are probably ebony. Not sure what wood piano itself is made of, probably cherry. Mechanically sound internally as far as we know (hasn’t been used since late 1960’s). Two or three white keys are stuck and need to be fixed, as does the foot pedal on the right side. Ivory missing from some of the keys due to vandalism by an intruder back in the early 80s (see picture). Beautiful piano, overall the wood finish is good, with the nicks and scrapes you would expect on a piano that is well over a century old. Does not come with a bench. Bush and Lane made some of the best pianos in the country during the era before the great depression. This piano deserves a loving home where it can receive proper maintenance and be put to a good use.
