Purchase of a lifetimeThis is a striking piece of cabinetry that will retain its poise as an enduring testament to contemporary craft. This visually outstanding studio grand piano is veneered in 1mm sliced, Tasmanian blackheart sassafras. This particular piano is one of only six Stuart & Sons pianos to be thus far veneered in this unique Australian timber.
It is an ideal size for those who seek a full bass with exceptional depth and sustain across the range. This instrument is a profound example of a master piano maker and exemplifies the individuality of the brand’s ethos. The subtle matt finish softens the dramatic lines to compliment rather than dominate. |
A studio grand crated for international delivery
|
Delivery and InstallationFor domestic customers, the piano is delivered door to door via selected piano carriers. For international customers pianos are carefully crated by us and then air freighted to the closest international terminal. Through Stuart and Son’s and their forwarding agents all aspects of the export/import logistics are handled. Thereby, ensuring a trouble free delivery for the purchaser.
After the piano has been delivered, Stuart and Sons will undertake an installation service and where practical, training will be provided for the customer’s designated technician. This is included for domestic customers and by negotiation for international customers. |
The TimberOf all Tasmanian timbers, sassafras has the most variable and dynamic colouring. It is a beautiful and pale creamy grey to white normally but can be streaked with rich browns and black heart. This tree, from north-west Tasmania, was infected with a staining fungus, a feature of old growth timber which produces the iconic blackheart. Blackheart is highly prized for decorative work. Sassafras can grow up to 45 metres tall, obtain a diameter of 1 metre, and reach ages of 150-200 years. As an understorey species, it reaches heights of 25m and 75cm in diameter. The tree has a conical crown and is often partially covered in lichen.
