Antique Heirloom Kurtzmann Grand Piano w/

This beautiful (and playable) piano made by C. Kurtzmann & Co. was purchased on the East Coast and transported here half a century ago. We could not find the serial number in any of the suggested locations, but the piano is estimated to be late 1800s - early 1900s. It sounds great and has a lot of character. Needs to be tuned. The exterior is solid and all of the necessary working parts are in place. There is noticeable scratches and marks in various locations, but specifically on the top (see photos for details).

The piano was modified to accompany the addition of the Superscope Pianocoder, which is also seems to be in working condition. About the Superscope Pianocorder: 

"The Superscope Pianocorder Reproducing System was launched in the late 1970's. It was also available factory-installed in the Marantz Reproducing Piano. The Pianocorder system provided a modern alternative to traditional player-piano rolls. It used ordinary cassette tape as a storage medium and played the piano directly from commands stored on the cassette tape.

Superscope created a fairly extensive library of material for the Pianocorder system, available on over 30 ten-cassette volumes. A large portion of these recordings were made by converting reproducing piano rolls to Pianocorder format."
