FS: Art Case Steinway OR Duo-Art
By Don Teach

A piano dealer has a Steinway OR Duo-Art he wants to sell for $8500.
Used Steinways have actually been selling well at higher prices than
just a couple of years ago.

This OR is a Louie XVI art case from around 1934, with a typical
Duo-Art mechanism from the late 'Twenties with the best roll-tracking
system I have seen on a Duo-Art. It has a standard wind motor, not
electric. It was rebuilt I am guessing in the 1970s.

I do not know how well it plays as it is currently at Keyboard Carriage
waiting for someone to buy this beautiful piano. Delivery will be to
a local piano dealer by Keyboard Carriage to locations they service.
Dealer will pay delivery fee to the local piano dealer of your choice.

These larger art case Duo-Arts rarely come up for sale. It is only
the second one I have seen in the past ten years. There is a restored
one for sale at M. S. Rau antiques in New Orleans for over $200,000.
Amazingly, the New Orleans dealer has sold pianos in that price range.
There _are_ buyers for these art case pianos. Here is your chance.
