Sykes & Sons

We are very proud to offer this lovely modern upright piano by the highly respected British manufacturer, Welmar.

 

Welmar was established in 1925 by

Whelpdale, Maxwell & Codd Ltd. (WMC).

Welmar had a reputation for building very high quality, stable pianos with a very fine touch and tone.

 

WMC was originally the U.K agent for the very famous German manufacturer, Blüthner. WMC learned a great deal from this close working relationship and incorporated many characteristics and designs, otherwise unique to Blüthner, in their own pianos. The use of 'royal blue' felt on Welmars is symbolic of the relationship between these two manufacturers.

 

Welmar pianos have always been appreciated by students and teachers alike because they were built with the Blüthner tone in mind, by craftsmen devoted to the art of piano building. 

 

The A10 is one of the larger models of the Welmar range and offers a full 88 note keyboard, three-quarter length music desk and celeste pedal, with a superb quality of sound and a wide range of tonal dynamics; typical of Welmar pianos.

The piano is housed in a beautifully proportioned black polyester (high gloss) case, which compliments a very wide range of decors, with the added benefit of being very tough and hard-wearing; which is why these case types are so popular.

 

This Welmar has enjoyed a life of little use since it was purchased by the previous owners, brand new, in 1988. Like all our pianos offered for sale, this Welmar has been thoroughly reconditioned in our workshop and expertly prepared by our specialist technicians; ensuring the highest possible standards, and comes with our 5-year guarantee.
