Utterly fabulous CELESTA Chime Piano by Kohler & Chase. This is a very rare Table Top model it may even be a prototype that was never manufactured. We cannot find anything like it. Please contact me for an audio. ONE KEY (Lower D) sticks for a couple seconds after playing. ONE OR TWO of the hammer rods feel like they may need slight adjustment or tightening. (Please read below for info on Kohler & Chase Piano Co). Think “Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy” and you’re getting close. This particular Celesta has Tubular Chime/Bells rather than the flat bars. All 37 Keys are in excellent condition with exception of a light yellow stain on the high B and C keys. NO CRACKS OR CHIPS. Keys are vintage and beautiful. Brass Chime tubes have some light discoloration and patina, see photos. Wooden “box” is hand constructed with slot-head screws, standard for the era. The wood is in excellent condition, no cracks or splits. All moving parts also excellent. Every note plays clear as a bell (pun intended) with no rattles or wobbles anywhere on the entire instrument. WITH THE EXCEPTIONS NOTED ABOVE! There is a “Dampener” along the upper edge, controlled by a brass bar, which swivels down if you want to keep all hammers from hitting the chimes. This Celesta is fitted with a very strong Wire at the back for Wall Display. With the exception of very minor adjustments, this piece is in fabulous condition. Dimensions: 22 x 18 x 5. This is a consideration when you are purchasing a high dollar, relatively sensitive instrument. Please write with any questions. The Kohler & Chase Piano Company not to be confused with Kohler & Campbell. Was established in San Francisco in about 1850 by Quincy A. Chase and Andrew Kohler. Kohler & Chase began primarily as a retailer of pianos and musical merchandise, but eventually begin manufacturing pianos under their own name. Pianos manufactured by Kohler & Chase in San Francisco were distributed primarily along the West Coast. In the early 20th Century Kohler & Chase entered into an agreement with the firm of E. These pianos were manufactured in New York in order to increase distribution and brand name recognition on the East Coast. Kohler & Chase is one of the few American piano manufacturers to survive the Great Depression without being absorbed into a larger conglomerate, and the firm went out of business in about 1958.
