An immaculate piano by Chappell, manufactured in 1993 by Kemble. This model is a replica of the Kemble Oxford with just as good a tone and look.
Chappell & Co. was established in London in 1811 by partners in a publishing business; the company quickly became popular for music publishing, with Beethoven himself recommending them in a letter. They began selling pianos in their shop and began building their own pianos in 1840. Production of pianos increased in the very early twentieth century and during the 1920s, Chappell purchased several highly regarded English piano manufacturing firms, including Allison & Co., Collard & Collard and John Strohmenger & Sons. Chappell pianos were produced by The Kemble Piano Company of London until the year 2000.
