Hobart M. Cable Console
Piano with hinged seat
bench.
Made in USA circa 1957 and purchased from Strawbridge & Clothier, Philadelphia PA in 1958. Mahogany case. Traditional design. Excellent condition. It measures: 371/2" tall,
24" deep and 58" wide. Compact

piano has been in one family only, and very well cared for. All it needs is a bit of tuning and a loving home.
Background on the brand: The Hobart M. Cable Co. of Laporte,
Indiana manufactured
their pianos in the USA
from 1900 to
1960.
The Hobart M. Cable pianos of this period are remarkably sweet and pure in tone with unusual power. The construction of the
piano is notable for its solidity and compactness. The scale, which is the scientific basis of quality, is of the even,
unbroken and satisfying kind that appeals to the trained musical ear. The Hobart M. Cable piano is a remarkable instrument–purity
and sweetness of tone, evenness of scale, great durability, superb case design in the richest of woods. (Currently,
this brand name appears on products manufactured
in CHINA by The
America Sejung Corp.)
The
price is $800 and does not include piano mover costs. I accept US Bank/Cashier Checks and US Money Orders only.
