Rippen is an under-rated make of piano as people are not exposed to the brand very often, so do not realise they are a really nice quality piano. It would suit an Intermediate or a seasoned player. It has a Renner action, which is always a sign of quality and gives a well-rounded medium touch weight and balanced feel.
This piano has been painted with an undercoat of Paris Grey and topcoat of Pure White (November 2017). The piano is white and not currently distressed to reveal the grey undercoat.
The tone is rich and full. This piano has 88 keys – with a well-rounded medium touch weight – and 2 pedals. The dimensions of this piano are a height of 106 cm, a width of 142 cm and a depth of 51 cm, giving it an unusually small footprint.
The DE 503 Rippen upright pianoforte with stool is currently hired out.
The following photos show how the piano looked before it was painted.
