Serial number: 300569; 7971. Relabelled Otto Bach, this console piano, with a mahogany casing, is an American piano of very good quality judging by the internal parts. Although it looks like a Wurlitzer, it is of a higher quality and is lovely! Wickham is cast into the frame (56 7 24).
This is a remarkably attractive piano with a beautiful music desk and gorgeous extra detailing like the carving. It is refined!
The piano has 88 keys, with a lighter touch weight, and 3 pedals 3 – the middle pedal operating the bass dampers only. The dimensions of this piano are height of 96,5 cm, width of 144,5 cm and depth of 58 cm.
The JAE 65 Wickham Upright Pianoforte with matching stool is currently hired out.
Have you ever heard of a Wickham Piano before?
We have not come across a piano like this before…
We are not sure if there was actually a piano manufactured by the Wickham factory, but we are aware that they manufactured the frames for other brands of piano.
We purchased the JAE 65 labelled Otto Bach, but it had been re-labelled Otto Bach and is not of the brand. This specific piano was definitely built in America and the frame is clearly manufactured by Wickham, however, the specific piano factory that manufactured the piano is a mystery. We have hence decided to label the piano a Wickham.
