A 6ft 7in Model 200 grand piano in a bright ebonised case with a maple interior and a fretted music rest set upon turned legs; together with a duet stool. Condition Report: Bösendorfer Strauss Model Grand The case is in generally good condition although there is a little polyester movement to the bass side and the top of the lid above it. This is presumably due to exposure to sunlight. There is also a repair to the rear of the top lid, which is beginning to whiten. The stringing, frame, soundboard and bridges are good although there is a very small amount of corrosion to the strings and rather mystifyingly the hitch pins are corroded. This is purely atmospheric and nothing to worry about. The action is good and functions nicely. The keyboard is in good condition and the material used for covering is plastic. This is a fine piano in generally good condition. This report is based on a cursory examination and is our opinion only. It does not constitute a guarantee and potential buyers should satisfy themselves about the lot before bidding.
