The Steinway Model D is universally recognized as the world's finest concert grand piano, measuring 8'11¾" in length and weighing nearly 1,000 pounds. This is the same model chosen by 98% of concert pianists worldwide and graces the stages of Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, and every major concert venue globally. For 145 years, this instrument has defined what a concert grand piano should be.
This 1880 Model D underwent a comprehensive professional restoration in Europe using premium components and concert-level craftsmanship:
Structural Restoration:
Complete refinishing in stunning pyramid mahogany high polish
Rebuilt bridges and new pinblock for optimal structural integrity
Restored soundboard maintaining concert-level tonal response
Premium Action Components:
Custom Renner hammers (the gold standard for concert pianos)
New shanks, flanges, and whippens
New keytops with chip-proof, stain-resistant coverings
Concert-level regulation and voicing for optimal touch and tone
The pyramid mahogany high polish finish on this piano is absolutely spectacular and extremely rare. Pyramid mahogany displays a distinctive flame or chevron pattern created by the tree's natural growth, creating a visual masterpiece that changes appearance as light moves across the surface. This finish is complemented by the piano's flawless like-new condition after its 2018 restoration.
This restored Model D delivers an exquisite playing experience that rivals new concert grands:
Velvety buttery smooth touch - one of the most refined touches you will ever experience on a piano
Clear, strong tone that is warm rather than overly bright
Outstanding, powerful bass that is solid and commanding
Bell-like treble with remarkable clarity and singing quality
Huge dynamic range from the softest pianissimo to thunderous fortissimo
Supremely responsive to delicacy, power, and speed
The powerful bass and crystalline "bell tone" in the higher registers allow all genres of music - from classical to jazz to contemporary - to be interpreted and performed effortlessly. This piano produces a rich sound with complete freedom across the entire keyboard.
This Model D features an installed QRS Player System, allowing you to enjoy performances by the world's greatest pianists or play along with orchestral accompaniments. The player system adds modern versatility to this historic instrument while preserving the authentic acoustic concert grand experience (30-day warranty on player system).
Originally built in 1880 during Steinway's Centennial period, this piano features the legendary construction methods that established Steinway's reputation:
18-layer continuous bent rim made entirely from hard rock maple (3¼" thick) providing unequaled strength and stability
Double-crowned Sitka spruce soundboard (9mm center, 6mm edges) designed like violin soundboards for free, even response and maximum air displacement
Hexagrip patented pinblock with 7 laminations for superior tuning stability
5 solid spruce braces creating exceptional structural foundation
88 keys spanning from the deepest bass to brilliant treble (longest key: 24½")
