Vintage Conover 5' 7" Mahogany Grand Piano: $4,500. US Dollars
Photo of Conover Model 77 5'7" Mahogany Grand
Built in 1920, this Conover Model 77 Grand Piano, Serial #231515, bears a close resemblance to the Mason & Hamlin Model A. The Cable Piano Company of Chicago owned/controlled both the Mason & Hamlin and Conover names in the early 1920's, and as a result there are many similarities between the two. Conover was Cable's Artist Piano (top of the line) just like the Mason and Hamlin was the top/Artist piano for the American Piano Company. The rim and plate in this Conover are massive, just like in the Mason & Hamlin. The action is also very similar to the Wessell, Nickel and Gross type action used in the M&H . Both pianos feature duplex scales, full sostenuto pedals, and patented construction designed to help maintain the crown of the soundboard over the life of the instrument ("Tension Resonator" in the Mason & Hamlin, and "Crownstay" in the Conover). Vintage Conovers are highly respected among piano technicians, pianists and rebuilders, because of the high quality of design and construction, similar to that of other high quality instruments like Steinway, Baldwin and Mason & Hamlin. The name Conover is still in use today, owned currently by the Samick piano company, and placed on pianos now made in Korea and Indonesia. This particular Conover, however, is the genuine article, built in the U.S.A. during the "golden" era of piano building. This piano has the classic lines similar to other high quality instruments of the period, and no expense was spared in its construction. It has a big rich tone, and a very responsive touch. The mahogany veneers are quite striking. The piano has been restrung and refinished (some years ago) and just recently has had new keytops and keyframe felts installed. It is in excellent structural and playing condition, -just recently tuned, voiced, and regulated. The soundboard, pinblock and bridges are all in great shape. If you want big name piano sound, touch, and quality but don't want to pay a big name price, this piano is highly recommended.

Ebony 1924 Steinert D 6'2" grand $9,995. Superior Quality
Photo of Conover Model 77 5'7" Mahogany Grand
Ebony Finish Steinert Model D 6'2" grand, built in 1924. Has just recently been restrung and had a new pinblock installed. Original ivories have been restored. Close copy of the Steinway Model AII grand, (the later, "improved" A II Model made from 1896 to 1914, with 2 bridges, 42 wound strings, 20 bass hammers, and a "square" tail).
Steinert was a Steinway dealer with dealerships in Boston and several other leading cities in New England, who also built his own pianos from 1903 until 1932, - many of which were basically "copies" of Steinways. (Steinert pianos also have some features found on Mason and Hamlin pianos, -for example, a Wessell, Nickel and Gross action, and individual adjustable aliquot bars). Quite a few pianists and piano technicians feel the Steinert piano was as good as, or, in some ways, a better piano than the Steinway. If you are looking for a 6 foot or over Steinway, you will also want to try this one. Fabulous sound, quick, light, responsive action. They just don't make 'em like this anymore. A serious musician's instrument.
