There is no such thing as an 'Upright Concert Grand Piano'. Use the correct words.

What you have is an old upright piano. It is a vertical design, it is 'upright', it stands against a wall. Some are taller than others but none are a concert grand design. NONE. Some are quite nice, some are worthy of restoration, perhaps yours is one or the other. For a market value consult a piano restoration expert in your area or an experienced and insured piano appraisal expert with 20 years plus in the biz. Be careful, many people place a far greater value on them than what is actual. 'A thing is worth What it Will Bring':.... Ben Franklin

A concert grand piano is 9ft long or greater, has three legs, is shaped like a flat wing that is parallel to the floor. It is usually found on a concert stage, recording studio or the home music studio of a professional pianist. They are not found in a normal or usual living room as they will retail at a price point far over one hundred thousand dollars new.

looks like nobody got some good info, just didn't know how to use it or understand it..poor nobody. give him a break..he is probably peddling as fast as he can and finally came up with, 'what a ****' after pondering the info. hmmm?..and he had so many choices to choose from?

if you're retarded and you know it, then your actions surely show it..clap your hands!

Actually you are incorrect. Grand Piano refers to the length of the strings and yes, there are concert grand uprights. You should probably do your research. Check out the FAQs on the Antique Piano Shop website.

Vose And Sons Serial Number 91527

Like most Boston-based piano makers, Vose and Sons has stood the expectation of manufacturing truly exceptional pianos. Despite the fact that these pianos are no longer manufactured, they are still lined up with some of the best pianos of our age.

Company History

James Whiting Vose established in the company in 1851 on Washington Street in Boston. Boston was home to a huge population of old world craftsmen who had immigrated to the United States from the old country during the 19th century.

These craftsmen all had the amazing skills in woodworking and piano building, and Vose was one of them; having all these talents, he took the advantage of the time and workforce he had to open a business that, unknown to him, would someday become one of the most well known names in the industry.

Vose manufactured a number of high quality square grand, upright, and grand pianos under the name “James W. Vose” during his time. In 1889, James brought his sons into the business and established the name we know today as Vose and Sons.

During the 1920s, Vose and Sons opened a new state-of-the-art factory in Watertown, Greater Boston. The Great Depression appeared not long after and the firm was forced to become a part of the huge Aeolian-American Corporation. The Vose name continued to be manufactured until the 1980’s when Aeolian went out of business.

Vose and Sons is one of the finest pianos we see coming through our restoration shop today.

Vose and Sons Today

Many of these pianos have made it up to our present day. Since they are no longer manufactured, Vose and Sons can now be seen in second hand shops, restoration and rebuilding facilities.

Despite their age, piano technicians and piano rebuilders often refer to Vose pianos as 'work horses,' simply saying that these instruments are well made and that they can endure heavy use and long periods of time.

Anyone who considers a Vose and Sons piano for purchase, or to rebuild, is choosing a piano, worthy of restoration and repair.

In spite of their age, many still seek these pianos out, desiring to have one for themselves, as Vose and Sons have proven to endure under the test of time.
