Comments
Alison are most appreciated for their attractive baby grand pianos, in mahogany, birds eye maple or walnut. These are of reasonable quality; those weve tuned often have loose tuning pins and need repinning and well as general adjustments. Allison are also well known for their small uprights, many of which are still in use. If you are looking for a small piano, however, Allison pianos can be be varied, so we strongly recommend getting a tuner to look at the piano before buying.
