Why go for antique European and American pianos?
During the period between the late 1800s and the early 1900s, piano makes were in
good business because pianos, being the major entertainment source, had been in great
demand. This period was also called the golden age in piano making. There was strong
competition among the different companies and this competition led to better and
improved models with better raw materials. The European and American antique ones
are made in this age were considered to be the finest pianos ever made. With the
excellent craftsmanship at hand, superior qualities of wood were used with beautiful
facing work to give fine finishing. They were entirely hand-made contrary to the
completely machine-made pianos of today.
Currently, the way pianos are made is in rather a sad state. There are innumerable
pianos that are being sold by Korean, Russian, Japanese and Chinese companies but
they lack in work quality though they are produced efficiently with great speed. The
quality of piano making has however gone down to such an extent that there are merely
any piano makers making fine, hand-made pianos.
There is a different joy in the music that is produced by this antique piano for sale. It is
believed that the pianos of this age had soundboards that were made form the wood that
was obtained from the same tree that was allowed to grow gradually in cool conditions.
The sound boards that were made of such wood have a longer life. This is why despite
these pianos being so old the music they produce is still perfect. There was a unique
charm in their design and craftsmanship and it is only sad that most of it is lost because
of the machine made varieties of today.
Antique pianos mean a lot to those who are real connoisseurs of music. If you are one of
them, and are looking for one of these antiques, then you could visit the different sites
and choose one. Most of the pianos have been restored to good condition. An antique
piano for sale might be more expensive than the machine made ones produced today
but the quality of music they produce and the beauty of these ancient pieces only makes
them priceless.
