IN STOCK White Feurich 161 baby grand piano
We prefer this to the new 161 with the LED light. We aren’t sure the fixed LED light is a good idea in the long term. We are yet to get response on the maintenance of the LED lights, if it should wear. We prefer to have them non-fixed and placed separately. We have a […]

Silent Feurich upright piano compared to a non-silent upright
Marcus describes the difference in mechanism between a silent upright piano and a standard one. The main difference is in the action: with the silent system, the let-off distance is increased, meaning that it’s not so sensitive when playing softly.
