I am beginning preliminary research pertaining to the Excelsior Continental Grand model as I will hopefully soon be in a position to track down and acquire this model for myself. I have long been interested in and curious about this model and several years ago I played and was quite impressed with one such instrument (I believe from the 1960s) and would like to further investigate this model (older pre 1980s models, not current production. I understand that Excelsior produced these instruments through the 1970s until being acquired by Pigini?).
I would appreciate any insight that those who have spent significant time on and/or own this model of Excelsior might have to offer on the various pros and cons of the model. Is there a particular era or set of years in which this model is thought to have peaked in quality? Keyboard action? etc.
Of course this is largely opinion based and there is obviously no true substitute for physically playing the actual instrument for oneself, but again I would be most appreciative for input. Thank you.
