Charles Walter 43″ Console

Description

At Little Valley Piano Service, we believe every pianist deserves to practice on a truly inspiring piano.  Most buyers are fearful about selecting a piano with unseen problems.  As a piano service business, we began selling “Fully-Serviced Used Pianos” so that you can confidently select a fine piano and enjoy it worry-free for years to come.

High quality, American-made piano

The Charles Walter 43″ console is arguably the best small piano available. Interestingly, this model was the first developed using the modern understanding of the physics of piano strings. Charles Walter builds high-quality pianos on a small scale in Elkhart, IN. These pianos retail for >$19,000 new.

This piano has an expressive, light-weight (but not fly-away) action and a rich, resonant tone. Its finish is in very good condition. It’s high-quality features include:

• Back-weighted, grand piano-length keys
• Langer action
• Angled bass strings for added length

You can hear this piano below. Quality microphones were used to make the recording, and the audio is minimally processed so that you can get a good sense of the actual sound of the piano. Smartphone and laptop speakers won’t do it justice. Please use quality headphones!
