Seiler 6’ 2” Grand Piano

The Seiler Model 186 grand piano is an impressive German-designed instrument that occupies an especially attractive position for a pianist looking for a full-sized performance grand without moving into the enormous dimensions of a concert grand. At approximately 6 feet 1–2 inches in length, the 186 has enough soundboard area and string length to produce a substantial, resonant bass, a clear and singing treble, and excellent projection while still being practical for a home, studio, church, or teaching environment. Seiler has a long tradition of piano making dating back to 1849, and the 186 reflects the company’s European approach to tone and craftsmanship.

One of the most appealing characteristics of the Model 186 is its responsive, expressive playing mechanism. German-made versions have been equipped with components such as Renner actions and German hammers, giving the pianist a refined connection between the keys and hammers. The 186 is particularly well suited to music requiring tonal color and dynamic control: its size provides considerably more tonal authority than a small baby grand, while its relatively manageable proportions make it considerably easier to accommodate than a 7- or 9-foot concert instrument. A professional evaluation of the 186 series praised the instruments for responding readily to the performer’s demands, with a ringing upper register and sufficiently rich bass for serious practice and performance.

The 186 is also a particularly handsome piano, with the long, graceful proportions associated with a true European grand. Depending on the particular version and finish, these instruments can make an elegant centerpiece for a music room while providing performance capabilities well beyond those of most smaller household grands. The combination of substantial 6-foot-class scale, European tonal character, responsive action, and Seiler’s long piano-making heritage makes the Model 186 a very appealing choice for someone who wants an instrument that can serve equally well for classical repertoire, jazz, accompanying, teaching, and serious everyday playing.

This one is in like new condition, being constructed in 2018.  It comes with an included damp chaser system, features all German parts and action, and comes complete with a matching bench and a 4 year guarantee on parts and labor on the piano itself.
