Challen 4ft 4in Baby Grand Acoustic Piano | Mahogany| Used | Bolton Store
This Challen Baby Grand Piano in a mahogany finish was manufactured in approximately 1930. Externally it looks OK for its age, there are signs of wear & tear as you would expect, but overall it looks OK. Internally this piano has been regularly tuned and its at concert pitch. The key action is nice and responsive too! If you are looking for a baby grand piano and need it to be compact this is about as compact as you get and for the price I think this is great value for money.
