Introducing the Samick SIG50 grand piano c.2007
Measuring just 5'0" (150cm) in length, the Samick SIG50 offers the proportions of a compact grand and is comparable in size to the current Yamaha GB1K and Kawai GL-10. For those looking for a quality grand piano without the price tag of a new instrument, the pre-owned SIG50 represents excellent value.
Manufactured in Indonesia in 2007 and designed by a highly regarded German piano designer, the SIG50D is a thoughtfully engineered instrument incorporating premium European components, including Roslau treble strings, German felts and a Delignit laminated maple pinblock.
The cabinet is finished in an attractive mahogany veneer with a high-gloss lacquer and complemented by brass fittings. It remains in excellent condition, with remarkably little evidence of sun bleaching. The two-position lid prop allows the lid to be fully opened, partially opened or closed, while the fallboard features a soft-close mechanism for added safety.
The action has recently been serviced and shows very little wear. It offers a comfortable medium-weight touch and a warm, balanced tone that is neither overly mellow nor excessively bright.
An excellent choice for the intermediate pianist, the pre-owned Samick SIG50D combines a responsive playing experience, attractive cabinetry and compact grand-piano proportions—making it both a fine musical instrument and an elegant piece of furniture.
