Here is some more information about modernised pianos…
Referred to as ‘English Reconditions’, there was a period where tradesmen altered the original outer structures of pianos, adjusting the appearance of the pianos to adapt to current demand. The pianos were thus rebuilt and ‘modernised’. Changes included modification of the panel and overall shape; removal of mouldings and decoration and even, sometimes, the piano legs were changed. The most common and obvious change was usually with the top panel.
Other examples of modernised pianos are the JAE 460 Carl Ecke Upright Piano, the DE 275 Fritz Kuhla Upright Piano and the DE 530 Kellman Upright Piano
