DE 928 Steck Grand Pianoforte with matching stool. Although you would hardly notice, it is interesting to know that this grand piano was originally a pianola, but the pianola mechanism has been removed. This piano has a lightish mahogany casing. Manufactured in America, likely New York, this is a very good quality piano. Generally, American pianos have a very good reputation. The piano is of quite large dimentions, with large fluted gate leg design (double legs) giving it a very Victorian appearance and a masculine antique feel about it.

This is an exceptionally rare "modern" model S grand, built in 1938, serial number 291133.

Yamaha pianos carry such a good reputation that we seldom find stock like this to purchase.
As luck would have it we have found two model C2 Grand pianos.
Both were purchased new by their previous owners.  One supposedly in around 1998, and the other approximately 8 years ago.
I have not verified these dates as yet.
Both are in excellent condition showing little or practically no wear.
Pricing of the 5 million serial number model (DE 923) R 170 000.00 and the more recent model (DE 922) R 190 000.00 including VAT.
These ought to be very easy sellers, the C2 model is 1.8 metres in length (width of 152 cm), making it a really nice sized grand.
They have a reputation for being able to project sound especially well, over other models and would be pleasing to serious pianists, fantastic for public institutions and so on.

DE 922 Yamaha Grand piano with stool. Serial number 6139771. This C2 is reputedly around 9 years old and is finished in high-gloss ebony. The C2 is a professional quality instrument, made in Japan.  It is 1.8 metres in length. It was purchased by Eshelby Pianos from its original owner. The piano is an amazing example, being probably as close to a new condition piano as possible - barely used and having only ever been moved since being placed in the buyer's home. Yamaha's reputation speaks for itself.  This would be a highly sought after piano.
Sale price: R 190 000.00 (incl. VAT).

DE 923 Yamaha Grand piano with stool. Serial number 5502696. This C2 is finished in high-gloss ebony. The C2 is a professional quality instrument, made in Japan.  It is 1.8 metres in length. Yamaha's reputation speaks for itself.  This would be a highly sought-after piano.
Sale price: R 170 000.00 (incl. VAT).

Grand Pianos Under Restoration

DE 901 Carl Ecke Grand Pianoforte with stool.

 This piano is in obvious need of case restoration and a re-polish, as well as internal restoration. This is a very unusual grand, of Symmetrical design, meaning that both bass and treble sides are curved. To have something different, but of such superior quality, is special.

The sale price when done will be in the region of R 148 000.00 (incl. VAT).

Model M, built in Hamburg in 1928, serial number 261 760. Mahogany casing.

The Eshelby family have sold, serviced and maintained this piano over a period of 55 years, it giving stirling service in serious use, a great commendation for the brand if ever there was one!

It is currently being restored back to it's original standard, hence the lack of a photo.

Sale price: R 354 000.00 (incl. VAT).
