The Plate or Harp

     The plate (harp) is, in a structural sense, the most important part of the piano and must be handled with extreme care.  Once removed, the plate is washed, scuffed, re-bronzed, and the lettering is hand painted.

     Koelle Piano does not consider purchasing and certainly does not sell any pianos with plates that are in any way cracked, broken or otherwise damaged.
