Chickering Upright Piano

This Chickering Model 4012 upright piano is a beautifully crafted American-made instrument, standing 40½ inches tall and finished in a rich walnut cabinet that displays timeless elegance. Built circa 1986 (serial number 1888145), it represents Chickering’s long-standing reputation for quality materials, thoughtful design, and dependable construction.

The classic cabinet styling, refined music desk, and warm wood tones allow this piano to make a striking visual statement in any home, studio, or teaching space. Its compact size offers excellent versatility while still delivering the presence and character expected from a respected American piano maker.

Musically, the Model 4012 provides a touch and tone that makes it well suited for beginners and hobbyists. As is typical for an instrument of this age, some bass strings exhibit light buzzing and a few notes sound slightly muffled. After careful evaluation, we elected not to replace these strings, as the cost would be prohibitive relative to the piano’s age and overall value.

That said, these characteristics do not diminish the piano’s usefulness or enjoyment for learning, practice, or casual playing, and many players will find it an inviting and rewarding instrument for everyday use.

For this reason, the piano has been priced intentionally and attractively, offering an excellent opportunity to own a genuine Chickering upright with classic American craftsmanship, beautiful aesthetics, and strong value—ideal for someone seeking a quality piano without the premium price of a fully rebuilt instrument.
