#STORY AND CLARK PIANO FOR SALE SERIES#
But from my experience of almost five years, and based on the testimony of others even longer in the industry, I can safely say that the Prelude is a decent value (you should pay under $9K for the piano alone.always be prepared to negotiate!).Īnother option is to find a used Kawai KG series (something close to 6' or larger if you have room for it), and retro-fit a QRS or PianoDisc player system on it. Quality-wise, Story & Clark's Dongbei pianos do not have the track record that Kawai has, because Dongbei is a much more recent entry on the world piano market. As 007 indicates, Kawai's GM is their entry level piano, and not the same level of quality as their RX's. It has a different scale design and over a hundred square inches more of soundboard area than the GM. If you are comparing a 5' S&C Prelude to the 5' Kawai GM series, you may discover that you like the sound of the S&C more. Story and Clark made pianos continuously for almost a century until the mid 1980's, and resumed again in 1993 when QRS purchased back the Story & Clark name. A little history.Melville Clark, who joined pianomaker Hampton Story in 1884, founded the QRS company as well (in 1901). They do a nice job of voicing, and you can tell the difference if you compare the similar Dongbei model Hallet Davis alongside the Prelude, right after unpacking.
#STORY AND CLARK PIANO FOR SALE INSTALL#
Story & Clark fully preps the Prelude (tuning, regulating, etc.) in their factory, and you can save quite a bit of money by buying their factory installed QRS system rather than getting a tech to install their aftermarket kit.

I am very confident in the work that we’ve done to this piano and am certain and confident in the solidness of this used upright piano for sale and its current condition. The pedals have also been buffed to a shine. It is in the best possible condition that this piano could be. The hammers have been reshaped, the damper lift is consistent and smooth, the perfect amount of after check has been assured and the damper let off is consistent all the way up. It was not fully refinished but I would call it a thorough treatment of the cabinetry. This piano has been evaluated, cleaned, had hammers reshaped, all parts aligned and lubricated, and voiced. Then everything is aligned, tightened, regulated, the casters fixed, no issues remaining that could possibly be fixed. Before we get going on the checklist, we take everything out of the piano and give it a very thorough cleaning. With over 20 years of experience in piano tuning and repair, I’m very confident in my certified – pre-owned checklist that I have created and use for guiding the refurbishing process. I have been through it very thoroughly and guarantee my work. That puts it in the World War 1 historical era. This piano is a 1917 Story and Clark, refurbished upright piano.
