Old piano adventure; the saloon sound

I bought this old Schiller upright piano from a neighbor just for fun... it needs tuning badly, but I thought it was unique the way it sounded... kind of like an old saloon piano! :-) Rick

My piano a Conway Boston with a Simplex player sits in the corner of my dining room waiting for me to restore it. I had it tuned about 7 years ago and its holding it well...could use a touch up. But it sounds just like this with a bit less sustain. (I suspect this ones is malfunctioning a bit) I have been struggling with the idea of deep restoration because I didn't want to loose that old saloon sound as he puts it.

[@lindsayheyes925]

Perfect for Boogie-woogie. My grandfather was a London Piano Plinth Fitter, adjusting the iron casting around which pianos like this were built in a cottage industry: The piano was trundled from hiuse to house for various parts to be fitted, and the tuner (often a blind man) at the other end rolled out the finished product. Every pub had one in its saloon bar, giving Cockney music its distinctive sound, and many people aspired to have one in their drawing-room too. The cottage industry - and that sound - ended abruptly in London after 1911. German manufacturers built pianos on production lines which assured their quality and stability of tuning. My Grandpa's career as a craftsman was over, and he joined the Royal Navy - but a decade later he met my Grandmother over a piano, and the rest is family history.

[@Rick22228]

Thank you for the kind words, Lindsay! I appreciate it! 🙂 It was nice to hear about your grandfather. Rick

[@johnchandler1687]

The best known piano tuner in my home city was a blind man named Corky. He also bought old uprights like this and converted them into player pianos. Our old Shakey's Pizza had one and several othe places around town. Your post reminded me of him.

[@lindsayheyes925]

@@johnchandler1687 Glad to be of service. Sadly, our Saloons (a nicer room than the public bar in the same premises, carpeted, with cushioned seats and ladies could be and men were not allowed in their work clothes nor allowed to smoke) are all gone. No longer is the popularity of an English pub instantly discernable from the density of strata of smoke lingering in its public bar (or the stickiness of its bare boards). And no longer is the foid confined to a pork pie with English mustard, or a grease-proof paper packet of crisps with salt in a twist of blue paper. Pubs are strangely much better but less social.

You guys didn't understand, it's not the deal of the century because since it's a rotten piano you have to retune it and it's not even sure if its structure holds or its strings. In other words, you pay $75 for a piano to buy a new one.

[@WombatLoveAffair]

The Art of the Deal

[@yacine_scherzo]

@lone beast Not at all because no one will buy an old piano since you are a pianist/or play piano frequently. There are plenty of pianos like this one for the same price (and betters) on the piano market, and people don't buy them because they know the truth behind the price in general. I can't disagree with the fact that this old piano sounds really cool, but i wouldn't buy it for practicing or else, and i'm sure 0 people who know what is like to have a piano will buy it.

Hey Rick, I hope this message reaches you in good health. My name is Dawson. I'm only a quarter-century old, but I gotta say that this was some very smooth piano-playing. Made me feel like I traveled back in time to the old wild West. Hopefully you're still living life to the fullest, and thank you so much for sharing this video.

According to Piano Atlas, that serial number dates it between 1909 and 1910. That's a beautiful piece of history you have right there!

Ray Ray Not a pianist persay, but learned piano for quite a while & love to play & listen..

[@Anonymous8317]

Gucci A lot of stuff is made for pure profits unfortunately nowadays. Back in the day, there was a lot of great items that were made very well vs now. Cars, dishwashers, etc....all comes down to profits and making a high quality product is more expensive and long lasting items don’t make as much money. Personally, there’s surely some high quality pianos out there but I wouldn’t know. Not the majority though.
