Description:
Steinway is undoubtedly the piano that
all musicians aspire to and some are lucky to own. However, not all
Steinway’s are alike. The Steinway factory Golden Years of
manufacturing were from the turn of the century through 1929. Some
of their finest examples of musicality and craftsmanship were built
during these years. However, finding a piano from this era in truly
wonderful condition is very, very rare! This model M, 5’7” Grand was
manufactured in the Long Island City factory in November 1920 and is
a remarkable example of the high level of craftsmanship and tone.
Most pianos hope to sound and play as this piano does and usually
they do not. This piano was owned by a 91 year old man who recently
sold his house and had to part with his beloved piano as well. The
piano was well cared for and was tuned regularly though-out its
life. The soundboard is in immaculate condition and the hammers are
the famous pre-war Steinway hammers that created the tone favored by
Rachmaninoff, Rubenstein and Horowitz. They cannot be replaced for
love or money and to find a piano like this that was not ever played
heavily is unbelievable!
