Fine Julius Bluthner Ebonized Baby Grand Player Piano

ca. 1880-1890, Leipzig, Germany, serial number 21099 and fitted with a QRS Pianomation 2000 CD and player unit.
h. 40", w. 57", l. 72"

Notes: Considered one of the "Big Four" piano manufacturers, Bluthner pianos were the instruments of choice for such noted composers and performers as Brahms, Wagner, Bela Bartok, Debussy, Tchaikovsky, Rachmaninoff, and Liberace to name a few.


  • Condition: **In fine condition but needs tuning. There are very minor surface scuffs to the lid. There is some lifting to the lacquered finish around the lock plate of the lid. Although we have not had this piano examined by a technician, it appears that it has been professionally rebuilt with new strings, etc. The hammers appear fine, the interior is very clean, there are no signs of cracks to the sound board, and no chips to the keys. We are uncertain, however, as to the performance of the player unit.
