Magnificent burling walnut case. Built in 1938, the golden age for Chickering. Two owners from 1938 to 1996 – neither of whom played. Refinished in 1996. Ten subsequent years in Vail, Colorado, and 8 years in Portland, Oregon. Meticulously maintained and voiced. Huge sound. Light action, easy to play. Ivories and ebonies are flawless. No nicks or dings. Case and soundboard are a wonder of old-growth grain. Bench and humidifier included. A great addition to any room, complements any décor.
