Here is my new grand piano.  It is so much more fun to play this than my electric piano. I don't know why I didn't purchase an acoustic piano sooner. ![[Linked Image]](http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h18/skradke/IMG_1166.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h18/skradke/IMG_1168.jpg)

Wow a Perzina 6'1! I too own one just like yours. How did you come to the decision of purchasing a Perzina over the others?

We are currently looking for more information about this piano. The best we have come up with is that is was made in Germany in the mid-late 1800's. It is in excellent condition and previously it was housed at one of the embassies here in Ottawa.
![[Linked Image]](http://www.garneaufamily.ca/images/piano1.jpg) Garnpet, Really nice finish on the piano. Also is it hand painted on the inside? ![[Linked Image]](http://www.garneaufamily.ca/traugott-berndt/images/2006-05-22-1-35.jpg)

Hi Ivier, I came to my decision by shopping around, and playing alot of pianos. I had such a blast shopping. It was so much fun. There were alot of pianos that I liked, but this one really stood out for me. I loved the sound, the tone, and the touch. I was really impressed with the quality of the piano, and how much I was getting for the price. So needless to say, I bought it, and I've been exremely happy with it.

I think that's one of the biggest thrills.

I absolutely love the tone, touch and everything about this piano. I've tried playing on a Kawai, Yamaha C1, Petrof, Young Chang and I fell in love with this one. I honestly feel that the piano is underpriced with the quality that was placed on the production. It's price is half of a C3 Yamaha which sounds quite similar.

Mazer,
Your piano is gorgeous!
Please note the heating vent in the corner, on the floor. You might consider putting a small piece of metal in the half facing the camera, to avoid any direct airflow.
These vents can cause trouble for grands: they blow right up at the soundboard from underneath.

Hello All,
As soon as i get my pics online, I will post them, though I feel ashamed,as its nothing like some of the ones already on here. It's a '23 Cable Nelson Reproducing Grand. It is in very nice shape.
Everyone here has such nice instruments...if anybody ever wants to get rid of one of them....hehe...i'd be happy to take it off your hands...

Really nice finish on the piano. Also is it hand painted on the inside?
![[Linked Image]](http://www.garneaufamily.ca/traugott-berndt/images/2006-05-22-1-5.jpg) From what we have found out the design inside the piano was hand painted and is actually original. Further information has put the piano at 1875. For a full set of pictures click on my signature link or check out the link below... http://www.hammerfluegel.net/viewer.php?albid=194&stage=2 Originally posted by Cy Shuster:

Hi Garnpet, What kind of wood veneer is that on that beautiful old piano? The veneer sort of looks similar to this old Asherberg upright made in Dresden around the turn of the last century...which I believe is a walnut root veneer very popular in Germany at that time for piano cases. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v386/skyblanche01/asherberg1.jpg [IMG] skyblanche
