Original used parts

We have a few original parts saved from scrapped pianos, like a set of wrest pins (tuning pins) from a 1790s square, a Clementi c1815 baffle (cover), a French stand (unrestored but usable as it is). Please enquire if you need any of these.

Notes:

Please see more information on our section Strings.
All orders (except string calculations) will have addedd a sum for postage and packing. String calculations will be sent in a Word file (.docx). Instruction for ordering a string chart calculation can be downloaded through this link.

Please state the eyes length, which is commonly between 20 and 50 mm. The earliest the piano, the shorter the eye, normally.

For whole sets of bass and plain strings, I can offer free of charge spare strings. I have not seen any problem to send strings to the continent due to Brexit, but you may have to pay some taxes.

If you have to send old strings to copy them from North America, be aware that if you declare a value on them for insurance purposes, I will be charged an import tax, which will have to be charged to you subsequently.

​

Payments can be made through PayPal (we will add the 5% comission that they charge) or WISE (similar to PayPal but no commission so far) or bank transfer. Bank transfers from North America may require an extra comission of 5% (and they will charge a big commission to you), so we strongly recommend using WISE or PayPal. Please send your enquiries for your orders to: cesar@fortepiano.co.uk
