Pianos on Sale
5' McPhail Grand #54173
 
5' McPhail Grand #54173
Brown Mahogany. Built in 1914 by the A.M. McPhail Piano Company of Boston. When we picked up this piano, the original action parts, strings & pins showed some wear after 95 years of use. However, the soundboard and bridges were in excellent condition and we were pleased to see that the piano was previously refinished, so we felt it had great restoration potential. Our special sale price pays for
the improvements we completed, so it's an excellent deal! After our improvements, this piano plays, sounds, and looks like new again!
