The Rarest Steinway You Can Own
The Steinway and Sons Model C is one of the most legendary and sought-after grand pianos ever built, widely regarded as the "forgotten giant" of the Steinway lineup. At 7'5" in length, it sits between the beloved Model B and the full 9-foot Model D concert grand, delivering a concert-hall voice in a format that can still grace a private home or studio. This 1984 example from the Hamburg factory represents the pinnacle of mid-century Steinway craftsmanship, bearing the iconic "Steinway and Sons, New York Hamburg" plate that identifies it as a true instrument of legend.
Concert Power, Intimate Scale
William Steinway himself described the Model C as "quite equal to the large Concert Grand D in any concert hall of ordinary size". With a string tension of nearly 20,000 kg across its overstrung scale, front and rear duplex scaling, and a soundboard ribbed with hand-fitted Sitka spruce, this piano produces a tonal range of breathtaking depth and clarity. From whisper-soft pianissimo to thundering fortissimo, the Model C holds nothing back.
A True Hamburg Steinway
The New York factory discontinued the Model C in 1936, making any surviving example a genuinely rare collector's instrument. The Hamburg Steinway factory continued production, and this 1984 model reflects the high German manufacturing standards that have defined the Hamburg line for over a century. The polished ebony cabinet, gold-finished plate, and tufted leather bench visible in these photos speak to the exceptional condition of this particular instrument.
