Golden Age Craftsmanship | Sustained Power | Heirloom Quality

A Performance-Grade Masterpiece The 1937 Kimball 6’5″ is a true “Parlor Grand,” a size favored by professional performers and recording studios for its exceptional dynamic range. Built in 1937, this piano hails from the era widely considered the “Golden Age” of piano making. Unlike modern mass-produced instruments, this Kimball was constructed using slow-grown, old-growth woods and hand-fitted components that provide a level of resonance and structural soul that is simply irreplaceable.

Prodigious Tone and Command At 6’5″, the string length and soundboard area are significantly larger than a standard baby grand. This results in a “growling” bass register and a singing, crystalline treble that can fill a large home, church, or performance hall with ease. The 1930s-era action has been expertly serviced to provide a responsive, nuanced touch, allowing for the highest level of musical expression—from the softest whispers to thunderous fortissimos.

Timeless American Aesthetic The cabinet is finished in a rich, warm Satin Mahogany that highlights the elegant lines of this pre-war era design. As a 1937 model, it features the heavy-duty construction and artisan woodworking that defined Kimball’s reputation as one of America’s premier piano manufacturers. This is not just an instrument; it is a piece of living history that has been preserved to perform for another 100 years.

Vintage Value vs. New Model Comparison To purchase a new grand piano of this size (6’5″) today from a premium manufacturer, you would expect to pay between $60,000 and $110,000. At $6,099, this Kimball offers the same symphonic presence and superior “Golden Age” materials for less than 10% of the cost of a new performance grand. The matured spruce soundboard in this 1937 model provides a “sweetness” and depth of character that new wood simply cannot replicate.

Comparison to a New Model

1937 Kimball 6’5″ vs. New 6’5″ Premium Grand

• Price: $6,099 vs. $75,000+
• Materials: This Kimball features old-growth lumber harvested nearly a century ago, which is denser and more resonant than the plantation-grown wood used in today’s manufacturing.
• Scale: At 6’5″, this piano competes with the likes of a Steinway Model B or Yamaha C5. You are gaining a “large grand” sound for the price of a used entry-level upright.
• Investment: While new pianos depreciate the moment they leave the showroom, a “Golden Age” grand of this size and condition has already stabilized in value and serves as a true investment-grade heirloom.
