This magnificent 1914 Steinway Model O grand piano is a lovingly restored masterpiece from the golden age of American piano manufacturing. Built over a century ago in the legendary Steinway factory in New York, this rare 5'11" Living Room Grand has been comprehensively restored in the last decade and refinished in stunning exotic African Mahogany - a breathtaking wood seldom seen on Steinway pianos.
The Steinway Model O, produced from 1900 to 1924, is often called the "Living Room Grand" and represents one of Steinway's most beloved vintage sizes. This piano offers remarkable power, depth, and resonance while requiring less space than full-sized concert grand pianos. The Model O has been a source of joy and inspiration for over a century, prized by musicians who appreciate its perfect balance of compact dimensions and concert-quality sound.
The sound of this Model O is particularly warm and rich - far beyond what one would expect from a grand piano under 6 feet in length. The combination of its vintage 1914 construction, quality restoration, and resonant African Mahogany cabinet creates tonal characteristics that are both powerful and beautifully colored. This piano delivers full, commanding bass notes and clear, singing treble that fill any room with extraordinary sound.
This 1914 Model O has undergone meticulous restoration in the last decade, combining respect for its vintage character with modern performance standards:

Stunning Cosmetic Restoration:

The African Mahogany finish on this piano is absolutely stunning and extremely rare. African Mahogany displays rich, warm reddish-brown tones with distinctive grain patterns that create visual depth and elegance. This exotic wood is prized for both its beauty and acoustic properties, adding warmth to the piano's tonal characteristics. The high-quality refinishing work showcases the natural beauty of this premium wood, making this piano a true furniture masterpiece as well as a musical instrument.
This 1914 Model O showcases Steinway's legendary construction methods from the early 20th century golden era:
One-piece continuous bent rim made from hard rock maple layers, providing structural integrity that has lasted over 111 years
Soundboard crafted from close-grained Sitka spruce, now matured and refinished for optimal vibration
Premium string design with Swedish steel treble strings and copper-wound bass strings
Solid spruce bracing creating a resonant foundation
Time-tested Steinway scale design that has influenced piano manufacturing for over a century
At 5'11", the Model O is the ideal size for living rooms, music rooms, teaching studios, and mid-sized performance spaces throughout Troy, Detroit, and greater Michigan. This piano delivers full grand piano power and depth without requiring the space of a 7-foot or larger instrument. The "Living Room Grand" nickname perfectly captures its practicality - it's sized for residential spaces while sounding like a concert instrument.
This restored 1914 Steinway Model O is not only a remarkable musical instrument but also a valuable collector's piece. Pianos from this era (1900-1920) are highly sought after for their superior materials, craftsmanship, and tonal maturity. The Model O is particularly rare since production ended in 1924, making surviving examples increasingly collectible.
At $44,995 (compared to $147,100 for a new comparable Steinway), you're saving nearly 70% while acquiring a fully restored vintage instrument with unique character, exotic wood, and investment potential that new pianos simply cannot match.
