Serial number: 6253406. This is a Classic Model South African made Otto Bach, manufactured in the Dietmann Factory. The piano was repolished to a satin black in October 2025. This really does suit the compact, clean lines of the Classic Otto Bach. The internal condition is very good, not showing any significant use.
It has a cheerful tone which is brighter – but not tinny – and has a lively treble. The piano has 88 keys – with a medium, gentle touch weight – and 2 pedals. It feels unusually silky to play! The dimensions are a height of 110 cm, a width of 143 cm and a depth of 55.5 cm.
The DE 534 Otto Bach Upright Pianoforte with stool is available for hire and sale.
Hire price: launch charge of R 2 450.00 and monthly charge of R 650.00.
Sale price: R 35 000.00 (incl. VAT).
The following photographs show how the piano looked when it had its worn mahogany casing, before it was spraypainted and repolished to a satin black finish (October 2015).
