Piano Auctions September 17th

Four lots of particular interest to us were at Piano Auctions' sale on September 17th.  Please click on the items below for the results.

 

Broadwood Grand  c. 1816

 

Kilpatrick Harpsichord 1975

 

Morley Clavichord c. 1970s

 

Morley Virginal c. 1970s

In compliance with the UK Ivory Act 2018, Piano Auctions had no option other than carefully to remove the ivory sharp-tops from three of these instruments - two Morleys, and the harpsichord.  Few of us would want to play an instrument looking like this, and I am happy to recommend a solution.  Tim Harvey, a professional with fifty years experinence, who routinely replaces piano keyboards, will be happy to re-cap sharps with a quality synthetic material.  The price is £150 for a single manual; two-manual to be decided, but less than than double!  This on the basis that the keys are delivered and collected from Royston, Hertfordshire.
