Essex EUP-123 Upright Piano – 2017
This Essex EUP-123 upright piano dates from 2017. At 123cm tall, it sits in the full size upright category, offering longer strings and a larger soundboard than smaller domestic models.
Designed by Steinway & Sons, the Essex range follows Steinway design principles in scale layout and action design. This example is fitted with the grand-style cabinet, which is less common on the EUP-123 and provides a more substantial, rigid structure than the standard upright cabinet. It also benefits from an extra large music rest that spans the full width of the piano allowing 6+ pages of sheet music.
The cabinet construction includes reinforced leg pillars and toeblocks, contributing to overall stability.
Additional practical features include a bass sustain pedal, allowing the bass dampers to be engaged independently, and locking fallboard and toplid operated by a single key.
