1916 Howard 57" Satin Black Upright Piano - with QRS Self Playing System

This 1916 Howard 57” upright piano—originally built in Cincinnati as a Baldwin brand—has undergone a full, professional rebuild in our shop. This is not a cosmetic tune-up or hybrid job; it’s a complete restoration inside and out, rebuilt to last another century. We were so impressed by the tone and structure of this piano as we worked on it, we just kept going until the entire instrument was completely restored.

We refinished the cabinet in a sleek satin black lacquer and restored every interior component: new strings, new tuning pins, rebuilt bridges, repaired soundboard with restored crown and shims, and a beautifully refinished plate using a durable two-part epoxy. The action has all-new hammers, shanks, and felts, and the keys have been redone as well. Original brass hardware has been replated in-house.

Howard uprights from this era were often marketed as “upright grands,” and once you hear the power and resonance from this 57” cabinet, you’ll understand why. Nationwide delivery and financing available.
