Introducing the Samick SIG50 grand piano c.2007
Measuring just 5’0 or 150cm long, the Samick SIG50 is comparable to the new Yamaha GB1K and Kawai GL-10 in size, and is a great value second hand purchase if the budget won’t quite stretch to that of the new piano.
Manufactured in Indonesia in 2007 and designed by a highly regarded German piano designer, the SIG50D is a well-engineered instrument featuring premium European components such as Roslau steel treble strings, German felts and Delignit laminated maple pin-block.
Its cabinet is finished in an attractive mahogany veneer with a high-gloss lacquer finish and brass fittings, all in excellent condition and with little-to-no sun-bleaching to be found. It features a two position lid prop, meaning the lid can be fully open, half open or closed, and the fallboard is fitted with a soft-close mechanism to prevent trapped fingers.
The action has been freshly serviced and shows very little sign of wear, medium weight and with a warm tone, not too mellow or too bright. Ideal for the intermediate pianist, the pre-owned SIG-50D is a great value instrument and a handsome furniture piece.
