Piano Make/Model: Rogers
Year of Manufacture: 1935
Restoration by: Tim Jackson, Waterford
Year of Restoration: 2024
A lovely small grand piano from one of our favourite makers. The Rogers grands of this period were built to a high standard and often featured the more advanced roller action as opposed to the cheaper D Type actions more often found in these small grands. This piano does have the roller action, as well as an 88 note ivory keyboard - again, a sign of a quality instrument.
The cabinet is finished in a fiddle-back mahogany veneer and has been completely stripped and refinished to the highest standard. Internally, all the damper system and action has been restored. A lot of work goes into the restoration of these grand pianos. Probably the best example this type of piano available in Ireland at the moment.

Dimensions Width: 139cm, Length: 132cm
