The Schiller piano company was estalished in Oregon, IL in 1893. Schiller was the top-of-the-line brand of Cable until 1957. These high quality pianos hold their full rich sounds to this day. This piano in particular features a sound box on the bass strings which amplifies the bass. As you would expect, the bass is big and impressive! This piano can keep up with much larger pianos. It holds tune well and has its original ivory keys. This is a great piano for anyone looking for a big sounding piano in a small space.
So yes she has a crack in the soundboard, but honestly we're pretty used to seeing this in Colorado and as far as we're concerned and many other piano experts we've talked with, as long as the structure of the soundboard remains solid, with ribs and bridges adhering correctly to the surface of the soundboard, and all strings and other fasteners attached rigidly to the frame of the piano, cracks will have very little impact on the overall tone or sound quality. She sounds beautiful, come on down and give it a test drive and see for yourself. With proper maintenance and tuning, even a soundboard with a crack can be maintained for years
