SOLD:Auto Piano

Auto Piano With Original Ivories and in Great Condition!

In comparison to any other piano this price range, this piano is a far better value.  Pianos in this price range haven’t been seen by a professional piano technician in at least a year or two, and more commonly more than a decade.  These other pianos generally need some repair, regulation, and tuning.  If I were to perform this work as a privately hired piano technician, the retail value would be well over $1000.

III. ADVANTAGES OF BUYING A PIANO FROM ME OVER ANY OTHER KSL LISTING OR A PIANO STORE:

A.  Reasonable Pricing: As a family operation, my overhead is very low.  I pass that on to the customer, as my prices attest.  You don’t pay for retail space, store utilities, or big-budget marketing.
B.  Condition
1.  I spend many, many hours repairing where needed, regulating where needed, and cleaning where needed every piano I sell.
2.  The vast majority of used pianos on ksl haven’t been seen by a professional for at least a year or two, often more than ten years. They usually require an extensive amount of costly work: repair, tuning, regulation, cleaning, replacement of worn or missing parts. This is already done on my pianos.
C.  Delivery: I deliver my pianos to Salt Lake and Utah Counties at no extra charge. (ground floor only, please.)
D.  Bench: My pianos include a durable, high-quality bench with a music compartment.
E.  Tuned: My pianos come tuned to A-440, the international standard pitch.
F.  Clean: My pianos are immaculately clean.  Where needed, all wood & metal-inside & out-has been vacuumed, blown, & oiled to perfection.
G.  Warranty: I guarantee my pianos against sticking keys, squeaky pedals or action, or any other similar issues for a full year in Salt lake and Utah counties.  Should any problems occur, I will be out asap to correct the issue.
H.  Me!!!  When you buy a piano from me, you get a highly experienced piano technician for life.  Pianos require semi-annual or annual maintenance.  I will stand by my pianos, I hope to form a professional relationship with you, and I hope to become your regular service technician.
