Feurich, Julius, Leipzig, Germany
Serial number 44942
Built in 1928.
Another fantastic pre-war German upright of superior quality!
Again one can easily see why the idea of the Golden-age of piano making exists and remains alive. The sheer levels of craftsmanship and quality are astounding. The results of the use of the highest quality materials, available resources of the highest quality timber harvests in history and hugely qualified technicians and builders, are pianos like this.
The dimensions are as follows:
Height 127cm.
Width 150cm.
Depth 66cm.
It has 85 keys, with a medium to firm touch, a lovely balanced combination of responsiveness and smoothness.
The casing is repolished in high gloss black.
Note details like the carved mouldings on the panel, the pull-out light, which may or may not function depending on time and general fit of parts.
It has 3 pedals, the middle pedal operates a celeste-felt rail.
It is extremely unusual for pianos of this period to have 3 pedals.
The tone is incredibly rich and balanced. A good piano should have range meaning it can be played softly or loudly and produce differing tonal qualities depending on how the pianist wants to interpret music. Many pianos, especially modern ones, don’t have that ability and thus confuse the comparison between Tone and Volume…not the same thing.
The Feurich DE668 is currently unavailable.
