Experience authentic New York-built Steinway quality with this 1980 Steinway Model M grand piano. Manufactured in the historic Steinway factory in Queens, NY, this 5'7" studio grand delivers the legendary Steinway sound trusted by concert artists, music educators, and serious pianists for over 170 years.
The Steinway Model M is renowned as the most versatile and popular size in Steinway's grand piano collection. At 5'7" (170 cm), it offers rich tonal depth, responsive touch, and concert-quality sound in a size perfectly suited for Michigan homes, teaching studios, practice rooms, and conservatories throughout the Detroit area.
This 1980 Model M showcases Steinway's time-tested construction methods that have made these pianos family heirlooms:
One-piece continuous bent rim made from 10 layers of hard rock maple, pressed together in a single operation for exceptional strength and tonal clarity
Double-crowned soundboard crafted from close-grained, quarter-sawn Sitka spruce for vibrant, lasting tone
Hexagrip patented pinblock design with 7 laminations for superior tuning pin grip and longer-lasting tunings
Swedish steel strings (treble) with pure copper-wound bass strings for balanced, powerful sound across all registers
Over 33,000 lbs of string tension supported by a sturdy cast iron plate
The Model M action features quarter-sawn European maple components with Steinway's exclusive repetition spring system, engineered to respond 14% faster during fortissimo playing and 6% faster during pianissimo passages. Each of the 88 keys is individually weighted and crafted from Bavarian spruce with chip-resistant coverings, ensuring consistent touch response and durability.
This pre-owned 1980 Steinway Model M offers exceptional value compared to a new Model M (currently over $101,000). With proper care and regular maintenance, Steinway grand pianos are built to perform beautifully for generations, making this an investment in both musical excellence and long-term value.
