This 1891 Fischer upright is one of those rare finds - an old piano that doesn't look or feel like it's falling apart. Most piano tuners run from old uprights because they're usually basket cases, but this one's a gem that'll change your mind.
The backstory Built during Fischer's heyday when they were cranking out 5,000 pianos a year and were considered top-tier American piano makers. The Fischer brothers knew their stuff - they'd been at it since 1840 and this piano came just before they hit their 100,000th instrument milestone.
What makes it special The stripped finish shows off the natural wood and gives it this cool modern vibe despite being 130+ years old. It's got all the good stuff - cast iron plate, over-strung bass, solid spruce soundboard, hand-carved bridge. The action still feels responsive and the keys line up properly, which is pretty impressive for something this old.
Perfect for:
Anyone who wants a unique conversation piece that actually plays
Period-appropriate rooms
Studios looking for character
Collectors of American piano history
Note: You'll need to arrange your own moving - these things are heavy and delivery isn't included.
