Joseph Pramburger 6' 1" Special Edition Grand Piano

Our space can seat over 50 people for recitals or dinner parties and stand 80 people for cocktail parties.

Our 700sq ft space hosts a world class 6' 1" Joseph Pramburger Designed Weber WSG60 Grand Piano made in 2007. Joseph Pramburger was a designer of Steinway pianos for 29 years. In 1995 the Korean company Young Chang took him and his ideas aboard to 100% redesign their pianos. They built a separate small factory just to produce these pianos. Like Steinway they used American Spruce for the concave soundboard, and Renner Action parts. They also used softer felt on the hammers, and lower tension strings, which is characteristic of the finest Weber pianos of the early 1900's. These were made as top-of-the-Line Young Chang pianos, are designed to be warm and rich sounding. This one does not disappoint! If you are looking to make a professional grade audition tape, or host the next great recital contact us anytime for more information.
