Another Eavestaff piano
I used to own a black and chrome one with all the trimmings, but it was never tuned to concert pitch. This one is in remarkably good condition, perhaps rarely played. Serial number is just 2020. Its in an oak case, with the tuning at the front, 2 strings per note

Re: Another Eavestaff piano
Some still can be tuned today, but many cannot be tuned easily - and come with risks.
I restored one about 12 years ago and sold it on. This one having chrome electric fluted sconces.
Recently, because of the risks with this design of piano, I added a report page to my website warning any potential buyers of the risks involved - mainly to do with the wrest plank arrangement and "ker plunk" style tuning pins.
