Packard Upright

"If there is no harmony in the factory, there will be none in the piano."  This maxim was the creed of one of the most ambitious piano houses in America.  The Packard Company was known for making artistic instruments of the highest grade and for maintaining labor practices of the utmost responsibility.  Every worker felt loyal to the company and gave of his best, resulting in an amazing output of skill and effort. The culmination of these factors can truly be heard and felt in instruments of this treasured name brand.

Packard is a name that will perk up the ears of any piano technician, tuner or player.  Always of astounding quality and craftsmanship, a Packard that has lived its life well will have a sound and feel that is simply ten steps above other pianos of its day. The Packard in our showroom has lived its life very, very well, and is no exception to the rule.  The color of the soundboard is a testimony to the perfect conditions in which the piano lay dormant until we happily discovered it.  The keyboard is immaculate, as is the action.  It is truly a favorite of all of the technicians in our land of mending the muses of flying fingers.
