Story & Clark SC H8 Premium 48" Upright Piano in Polished Mahogny Finish - Pre-Owned

The Story & Clark SC H8 upright piano, originally built in 2018, delivers a refined combination of craftsmanship, performance, and elegance. Designed for the pianist who seeks studio-level tone in a space-conscious upright format, this instrument offers a robust action and tonal design informed by Story & Clark’s long heritage dating back to the 1850s. The H-series models feature premium materials such as German-quality strings for clarity and projection, a heavy cast iron plate for stable tuning and rich tone, a solid spruce soundboard for long-lasting resonance, and a multi-ply rock-maple pin-block for tuning stability. The elegant cabinetry and finishes suit both professional studio environments and well-appointed homes, available in traditional polished ebony, mahogany, or satin finishes depending on availability.

Key Features & Benefits

Exceptional tone and response
With a tall upright profile similar to a studio upright, the SC H8 provides longer strings and a larger soundboard than smaller uprights. The result is more power, deeper bass, and a richer harmonic spectrum—ideal for advanced repertoire, four-hand collaborations, and professional practice.

Reliable performance and tuning stability
Its heavy-duty cast iron frame and robust pin-block system ensure excellent tuning stability and durability, even under frequent use. This makes it an ideal choice for teaching studios, performance spaces, and homes where consistent reliability is important.

Elegant presentation
The SC H8’s graceful form and refined cabinetry make it a beautiful addition to living rooms, studios, and recital spaces. Its understated design complements both modern and classical interiors.

Space-efficient yet professional
While offering many of the tonal benefits of a grand piano, the upright design of the SC H8 saves space and fits easily into smaller rooms or teaching studios without compromising sound quality.

MIDI digital connectivity
This Story & Clark H-series models is equipped with PNOscan MIDI connectivity, allowing your piano to function as a MIDI controller with music recording and notation software.
