This piano delivers full, rich bass and clear treble that fills any room without overwhelming residential spaces. The 6-foot length provides the acoustic advantages of long strings and a large soundboard while remaining sensible for home installation.

Rich, Full Steinway Tone

The Model A produces a powerful, warm sound thanks to its solid spruce soundboard designed like violin soundboards to vibrate freely and efficiently. This piano offers the characteristic Steinway tone quality with exceptional dynamic range, making it ideal for classical, jazz, contemporary, and all musical styles.

Time-Tested Steinway Construction

This Model A features Steinway's legendary engineering and premium materials:

  • 3 solid spruce braces (1,387 cubic inches volume) creating a homogeneous foundation

  • Double-crowned soundboard (8mm center, tapering to 5mm) made from close-grained, quarter-sawn Sitka spruce for free, even response

  • Cast iron treble bell affixed to rim's underside for structural stability

  • 41,888 lbs of string tension providing robust dynamic capabilities

  • Longest string: 55⅝" ensuring rich, resonant bass tones

  • Overstrung scale with combination agraffe and front/rear duplex

Ideal Size for Homes & Studios

At 6'2" long and 57¾" wide, the Model A occupies approximately 24 square feet of floor space - making it an excellent choice for living rooms, music rooms, teaching studios, and smaller performance venues. This piano delivers concert-quality sound without requiring the space of larger grand models.
