Pianos for Sale
Collard & Collard
This one was the subject of a recent emergency rescue, achieved through
these pages, but the new owner has decided that he has too many
projects and not enough time... now where have I heard that before?
So, it is now offered for a nominal £80, just to cover
costs so far.
The name-transfer looks good: this is a vulnerable point on pianos of this age - easily damaged, and very difficult to repair (the transfer lettering is real gold on black lacquer). Strings and soundboard look OK - and with that iron plate, pianos from this period (1840s) are structurally strong - if a bit heavy! The nameboard frets are missing, obviously - not sure if they were rosewood or brass - but either way, I'm sure that we can find a pattern. The casters are also missing, but again I'm sure we can find some: the originals (with free legs!) on our Parts for Sale page are significantly cheaper than modern repros.
This could be a fine-sounding piano, and if you think that £80 is too cheap, please remember that Cats Protection need your donations www.cats.org.uk/wellingborough - there is a 'Donate' bucket waiting for you!
Interested? Please contact David on djsdf10@btinternet.com for further details. The piano is currently in Essex.
