Essex EUP116E Acoustic Piano | Polished Ebony
We are proud to present for sale the beautiful Essex EUP116E upright piano in polished ebony. The Essex series of pianos are designed by Steinway & Sons and use their latest design specifications and engineering standard, the quality of this piano is amazing. Externally it has a lovely polished ebony cabinet and the curved key-fall looks great and compliments the traditional legs. The main body of the piano is slightly larger than most in its height range (116cm) and together with the 5 back-posts and many other Steinway patents the tonal resonance is beautiful and can be felt all the way to your fingertips. This piano has been designed in a way to use the whole frame and cabinet to add depth to the overall tone, extra dynamics on touch and full harmonic resonance when using the sustain pedal. I think this piano has a great feel, wonderful tone and is excellent value for money with a 'Design By Steinway & Sons' badge too!

With the Essex piano, you get more than the best possible value for your money.

Your purchase is also backed by the Steinway Promise: If you decide to trade-in your Essex piano for a new Steinway grand piano at any time within ten years, you will receive a trade-in credit equal to your original purchase price.
The Steinway-designed soundboard is tapered, rather than uniformly thick, to vibrate more freely and provide more tonal volume. Essex pianos have a Steinway-designed, all wood (no plastic) action for proven durability and heightened responsiveness and control. In addition, all Essex pianos feature a Steinway-designed pinblock, strings, plate, backposts/braces, and bridges, as well as many Steinway-specified parts and manufacture procedures. As a result, the Essex is, quite simply, the best piano available in its price range today.
