The Piano World's Best-Kept Secret
Steingraeber and Sohne is one of the most exclusive and respected piano manufacturers in the world, producing pianos entirely by hand from their historic factory in Bayreuth, Germany since 1852. Founded by Eduard Steingraeber, the brand quickly became synonymous with innovation and artistry, earning international prizes as early as 1867 and attracting the admiration of Franz Liszt and Richard Wagner, both of whom were closely associated with the factory in Bayreuth. With a total production history of just over 10,000 pianos across more than 170 years, a Steingraeber is extraordinarily rare and deeply coveted by pianists who know the name.
A Century-Old Instrument of Extraordinary Character
This 1920 Steingraeber Model 190, at approximately 6'3", sits in the salon grand category and delivers a tonal profile that has consistently won "Best in its Class" awards even against far larger instruments. The secret lies in Steingraeber's unique construction philosophy: only solid wood is used throughout, surfaces are finished with shellac and natural wax rather than synthetic resins, and the bass bridge is designed without aprons or bases to transmit vibrational energy directly to the soundboard, exactly as a full concert grand does. The result is a tone of extraordinary transparency, richness of overtones, and dynamic range that audiophiles and concert pianists describe as unlike anything else available.
Built for the Ages
Steingraeber uses up to 36 horizontal and 18 vertical layers of beech wood in their piano casings for maximum acoustic rigidity and resonance. The tightly controlled soundboard features an expansive, suspensionless bass bridge that maximizes the resonant surface area, while the Renner action and Steingraeber hammers deliver a concert touch of remarkable speed and sensitivity. Every component is selected for longevity, which is exactly why a 1920 Steingraeber, more than 100 years old, can still perform at the highest level.
