54" Mahogany Upright - Serial #24216 - 1905
Wow, this piano is 120 years old! And it is magnificent! The upright grand, as many called them, was made to have a big sound that wouldn't take up as much space as a grand piano, and with this piano - mission accomplished. Restored in 2015 by Reeder pianos, it is like new - rarely played and very well cared for in the last 10 years - this piano is a gem! With a Mahogany satin finish and brass hardware, the restoration included full refinishing, a new soundboard, new bridges, a new pinblock, new strings and tuning pins, a reconditioned action with all new felts & leathers, new hammers and ivory keytops.
The attention to detail is beautiful in this piano, take a look at the dainty pedals, original decals on the cast iron plate, the unique shape of the ebony keys and even spacing of the strings. This piano will not disappoint, and if you love to play the piano and love history, this may be just the instrument for your home or music studio. This piano has been inspected, reconditioned, tuned, and is ready for a new home.
A bench is included, of your choice, from a replica of the original round stool, a more traditional double bench with storage, or a padded adjustable. Pick what works best for you.
We back our work with a 2-year mechanical warranty.
The Mehlin company does not exist today, but a new piano of this quality would be between $45,000- 55,000. If you want a wonderful piano for half the price, consider this restored Mehlin!
Mehlin & Sons History
Paul Mehlin started his piano company in 1889 in New York City. Originally from Germany, Mr. Mehlin had worked for a few different piano manufacturers until starting his own manufacturing plant. The company was assimilated into the Aeolian piano company in the 1930's and thereafter was also labeled as Ivers & Pond and the Winter & Co. pianos as well. You will see pianos with the Mehlin name up until the 1960's.
