A treasure trove of photos from the Australian Beale factory, compiled by James A. Beale - grandson of Octavius Beale. This wonderful book illustrates the manufacture of Beale Pianos from the largest piano factory in the southern hemisphere.
Octavius Beale established a plant that covered every aspect of manufacturing - raw materials went in and finished pianos came out - creating Australian made pianos with his (and Vader's) unique steel wrest tuning design.
160 page "book of photographs and family archival material including a re-print of the 1910 original Beale, full colour catalogue. This amazing collection titled Making Beale Pianos is a precious account of private family history...This will be the best Beale present you could get for Christmas." - Wayne Stuart OAM (Director, Stuart and Sons)</blockquote>
This pictorial journey concludes with a copy of the 1910 catalogue of Beale Pianos, detailing the different models. Total of 160 pages - all thick gloss photo stock. Spiral bound to allow every page to lie flat (ideal for a coffee table). Produced in Australia by James Beale with the help of his son Richard Beale.
Due to the small number of copies produced, and the high quality of the pages, this is a valuable book. We are selling this book at a price that just covers costs.

Friendly, prompt personal service from Daniel, amazing colour photograph instructions (and YouTube video!!), bombproof construction compared to half baked design of Ford original made from half sucked spaghetti noodle. Bingtastic aftermarket upgrade works a treat!!Rapid and hassle free delivery to small town New Zealand. 100% recommended!!!
Fortune 500 companies would do well to follow Bingtastic see what good service is really about.
Thanks Dan!
Hi, Initially very hesitant to order from Bingtastic – but an old friend needed new pipe bag. After a few Dr Google searches found Bingtastic – a local supplier at an extremely competitive price. Ordered from the website and arrived within two days – fantastic. Found Bingtastic to be extremely reliable and extreme value for money.
Excellent product that does as advertised, arrived promptly in Western Australia and easy to install with great instructions. On top of that, Daniel is an absolute pleasure to deal with and I’m sure if there were any issues he is only an email away. Stop having doubts and order straightaway if you have a latch problem!
Thanks Daniel. The latch arrived today. 5 minutes work. It is in and works great. Best $32 bucks I ever spent. Funny how annoying that open lid is. Your instructions were very clear although I have had it out previously to ascertain the problem. Found your site and ordered it straight away. I could see the difference and that it would be stronger than the original part. Arrived within a week to NZ. Packaged great. Very happy.Cheers
Founded in 1997 by Daniel and Helen Bingham, Bingtastic is a family owned and operated small business based in Queensland, Australia. We initially provided IT support to many organisations including state government, and in 2011 we narrowed our focus to programming. We specialise in creating custom coded cloud applications.
We also sell a few special items:
We sell a 3D printed car part because when ours broke, there were none available and it was a great excuse to buy a 3D printer (we’re up to our 6th 3D printer now).
We sell a book about making Beale pianos because we own and play a Beale piano, and our information site (findthingy.com) has a page dedicated to Beale Pianos which has proven very popular with Beale owners, and we were fortunate enough to be contacted by the Beale family to sell this book.
We sell bagpipe bits because we live bagpipes. Daniel Bingham has been bagpiping since 1983, including 6 years as the Pipe Major of a Queensland pipe band. Our family has many pipers and drummers, and we wish to help other pipers and drummers access quality gear at decent prices.
Thanks for visiting our site. Have a great day!
