Hardman 47” Upright Piano – Model – Mahogany Polish

Hardman upright pianos come from a long American tradition that began in 1842, when Hugh Hardman founded the original New York workshop. After joining with Leopold Peck in 1890, the company became Hardman, Peck & Co., and rose to prominence for building durable, well-crafted instruments known for their purity of tone and elegant cabinetry. Their pianos were respected enough to be selected as the official instruments of the Metropolitan Opera, reflecting the brand’s high early-20th-century reputation. Over time, the original company became part of larger piano manufacturing groups and eventually ceased U.S. production; in recent decades, the Hardman name has been revived as a value-oriented brand manufactured overseas. Modern Hardman upright pianos are built with solid materials such as spruce soundboards, hard-rock maple or hornbeam action parts, and multi-ply beech pinblocks, all designed to produce a stable, reliable instrument with a clear tone. These uprights range from compact 44-inch studio models to larger professional 52-inch uprights, making them suitable for homes, teaching studios, or small performance spaces  Overall, Hardman upright pianos represent a combination of heritage and affordability—a solid acoustic option for students, casual players, and families seeking good value without moving into higher-priced brands.  This one is only 3 years old.  It includes a matching bench and a 6 year guarantee on parts and labor.
