Condition Report:

LOT 35 – KAWAI GRAND

PLEASE NOTE: The piano is retro fitted with a discreet silent system – we are unable to make this work – I cannot find a power output or indeed anywhere to put the power source, although the system itself looks fairly modern and I place a sporting bet that it would probably work but you would need to do more research.  The system is advertised on the side of the piano as the ‘Logica Pianoforte’ for anyone who might want to do some research before bidding.

Casework:  The case is in very good condition.  There are one or two smudges and one or two light scratches but nothing serious. 

Frame, Pins, Strings, Soundboard and Bridges:  Are all good.  There is a small amount of corrosion on the treble strings which will buff easily.

Hammers and Action:  The action looks good.

Keys and Keyboard:  Is plastic and is in good condition.

General Notes:  Overall, the piano is in excellent condition but do bear in mind that if you want to make the silent system work you will have to do a bit of research – Logica Pianoforte is the company that fitted this and so obviously you would need to find out how to power this up.

This report is based on a cursory examination and is our opinion only.  It does not constitute a guarantee and potential buyers should satisfy themselves about the lot before bidding.

Buyers Premium: 24% plus VAT
