Sykes & Sons

We are very proud to offer this lovely reconditioned upright piano, built by one of Britain’s most recognised piano manufacturers.

Chappell & Co was founded in 1811 by Samuel and Johann Chappell, with the company's clients including Beethoven, Strauss and Sibelius.

Along with Kemble, Knight and Welmar, Chappell dominated the  UK market and is regarded as one of the finest British manufacturers, with an excellent reputation for building high quality, long-lasting pianos.

This upright is a brilliant mid-range instrument and another fine example of British piano manufacturing. This piano was manufactured in the Kemble factory (UK), under license, whilst the company was under the stewardship of Yamaha.

This medium-sized upright piano offers everything that we would expect from a Kemble made instrument. It boasts a full 88 note keyboard with a nice volume and rich tone, which is coupled with a balanced and responsive touch.

This piano was purchased new in 1989 and has been owned by the same family in the Ribble Valley area since. This very well constructed upright is housed in a rich, satin mahogany case which is nicely proportioned across the whole cabinet.

Like all of our pianos offered for sale, this Chappell is in excellent condition and has been thoroughly reconditioned in our workshop by our specialised technicians. The piano has been expertly regulated, tuned and toned/voiced to ensure it is playing to the fullest potential and will provide long-term satisfaction to the new owners.
