Grand Pianos

Model O Living Room Grand Piano




This 5-foot-10¾-inch piano has been a source of joy and inspiration since the very early 1900s—and it continues to be so today. It has a sound that is particularly warm and rich—far beyond what one would expect for a piano that is under 6 feet in length. Its action offers the sensitivity and control that has made Steinway famous; and no matter what you ask of this piano, it has an answer ready.
"Steinway is the only piano on which the pianist can do everything he wants.  And everything he dreams"—Vladimir Ashkenazy.
Length:

5’ 10 3/4’’ (180 cm)
Width:

57 3/4’’ (approx. 146.5 cm)
Weight:

616 pounds (approx 280 kg)

Model A Parlor Grand Piano



At 6 feet 2 inches, this amazing piano sounds like a much larger model. The powerful yet warm sound is the result of an amazing scale design that allows the solid spruce soundboard to freely and efficiently vibrate—thus producing a sound that simply cannot be experienced in any piano except a Steinway. Its slightly longer keys give the player a sense of heightened sensitivity and control. The size of this piano is large enough to satisfy those who demand a full, rich bass—yet small enough to beautifully fit into almost any home.
"With a tone so rich, I would never be afraid of the dark.  Steinway is the only and the best"—Harry Connick, Jr.
Length:

Baby Grand Piano

Model S Baby Grand Piano


 


At 5 feet 1 inch in length, this "Baby" grand piano was introduced in the 1930s. Don’t let its size fool you! Steinway & Sons’ patented "Diaphragmatic Soundboard"—now found in every Steinway piano produced today—was first developed because of this model. To insure that a powerful and rich tone could be produced by a piano of this size, Steinway redesigned its soundboard, resulting in a tone that greatly outperformed others. And it still does. Every inch a Steinway, this piano is a proud addition to any home.
"When one plays a Steinway, there is a warmth and nobility in the sound that is unequalled by any other instrument"—Emanuel Ax.
