The 3 Crown Ronisch always had a good reputation with piano teachers and musicians in Australia. They were expensive, quality instruments with a strong and resonant tone.
The keys have been rebalanced with new leads. The keytops and keybed felts had already been replaced, so we renewed the key bushings and polished the key rail pins. The dampers and tail felts were renewed and the action was fully reconditioned.Details on request.

We’ve reconditioned quite a few of these beautiful top class uprights over the years, but this is without doubt the best of the bunch. This extended end instrument has longer bass strings than most medium size grands, and the original brass candlesticks and side handles are in superb condition. The bottom 7 notes need a specialist tuning tool!
It was owned by a local dance teacher and I was very lucky to come across it. I have had it in my own home for the last 2 years because of it’s exquisite tone and charachter. The bass is full and rich, while the treble is as clear as a bell right up to the top note.
It has the original ivory keys perfectly preserved. All keybed felts and key bushings have been replaced, and the action has been given our usual thorough rebuild. Details on request.

This was the pinnacle of Australian piano manufacture. The carvings on the cabinet, exotic veneer work and the intricate details of the brass fittings are simply stunning.
There is a reference to this instrument as well as a photo in a National Library of Australia catalogue:
Beale have a patent tuning system which does away with the traditional wooden pinblock. It is an all-iron tuning system, with each tuning pin being held in place with a locking screw.
As you may be able to tell from the photo, this piano is HUGE, standing about 1.8m tall, Everything is original, except the pedal caps, which had to be replaced. Every single action felt, leather, tape, spring and hinge pin has been replaced.
