Perfect for your new student, this piano is a great first piano to get lessons underway. Founded in 1883, Everett was an old Boston piano manufacturer who made solid, affordable family pianos for many decades. Relocated to Grand Haven, Michigan in 1926, they were purchased by Yamaha in 1973 who continued to operate the Michigan facility until 1986, making pianos using Everett’s original designs plus a few original Yamaha models as well. For the price we’re asking for this respectable piano, you could not even the lowliest new “starter” piano at a new piano store, but your money always goes further in our world of fine, used pianos. The finish is clean and it is in excellent condition internally. Like all pianos we sell, the price includes our standard 10-year warranty and lifetime upgrade guarantee, so if you EVER want to upgrade, you will only need to pay the difference. Why buy new??
