| Details |
This Steinway 7'5" model C in Brazilian Rosewood is a piano masterpiece that is both a museum-quality work of art and a high performing musical instrument. This piano was purchased just over a year ago by our client from a dealer who had restored this piano exquisitely. The dealer spared no expense in this restoration, including new soundboard, new bridges, new pinblock, new strings, new hammers, new shanks, new flanges, new wippens, new keytops, new bushings, new damper action, and a new highly polished satin lacquer case that showcases the Brazilian Rosewood finish. At the time our client purchased this piano, he had a PianoDisc Prodigy II player system installed, and as you can tell from the recordings above, the piano sounds amazing. The client recently purchased an ebony Fazioli F228 from us, and is the only reason he is selling this Steinway C and at this low price. (A new smaller Steinway B (not C) in east indian rosewood polish currently goes for over $225,000.) This piano is for the connoisseur who would appreciate an extremely rare Brazilian Rosewood Steinway & Sons 88-note 7'5" Model C grand piano from the Golden Age of Steinway piano-making. The ornate and elaborate carvings of the legs, lyre and sheet music desk highlight the exquisite craftmanship that permeated artisan houses in the 1880s and 1890s. Here is your chance to own a piece of 19th century craftmanship in your home that looks like it was newly made in the 21st century. This piano was restored recently, and is very much like a new piano. Definitely one of the loveliest pianos we have ever seen. (Unfortunately the pictures above do not do it justice.) And this piano plays like a dream. The tone is powerful and lively, the action is smooth, and the case is unbelievably beautiful. Please contact us for more details or to make an offer. |
| How this piano may be different from other pianos you are considering |
Rare - Very few model Steinway C's have ever been restored to this level of detail and finish, and almost never become available for sale. Quality - Steinways are considered the gold standard of American-made luxury pianos because of their impressive scale designs and the tones that these designs generate. Price - New East Indian Rosewood B's are sold with a new price of over $225K. This restoration is just like a new piano. Lower priced Steinway C restorations currently available for sale are typically only partially restored. Dealers typically economize in restorations of Steinway pianos (keeping the old soundboard, bridges, agraffes, repetitions, and/or damper action) to be able to keep the price low, but are sacrificing the quality, performance and longevity of the restored instrument. Instrument Restoration - This pianos is fully restored. (95% of restored pianos for sale are only partially restored.) Pianos are not fully restored, in our opinion, unless they have undergone a full acoustic restoration, including a new soundboard, new bridges, new pinblock, new strings, and new agraffes (usually overlooked) and a full action restoration, including new hammers, new shanks, new flanges, new repetitions, and new damper action (overlooked as well). The reason these components need replacement is that they are made primarily of thin pieces/layers of wood, including the soundboard, or metal, like the agraffes, that lose their physical/chemical properties over a century, and wear down/warp over time. Replacement is the best option for these thin wood and metal parts that are vital to the performance and longevity of the restored instrument. |
| When you buy a Steinway piano | Steinway pianos have been synonymous with quality, beauty and luxury for over 150 years, a reputation well earned. Steinway pianos are considered the elite pianos, where, similar to Rolex watches, the main competition for a new Steinway piano is not a competitor, but rather a pre-owned Steinway piano. Each handcrafted Steinway piano has over 12,000 mechanical parts and, when assembled or restored by expert technicians, the Steinway piano is elegant and tonally gorgeous. Steinway piano designs are timeless, with many of their current model scale designs being over 100 years old. Even 100+ year old Steinway pianos play today, although these pianos had to withstand incredibly harsh and inconsistent indoor conditions for most of the 1900's. (Now with climate-controlled (temperature and humidity) homes, Steinway pianos made, or properly restored, after 1990 may conceivably last 200 years in current home environments.) Although Steinway prices are high compared to other pianos, Steinway pianos have enduring value over time, much more so than competitors’ pianos. When you buy a Steinway piano, you are buying a very special piano that will last you and your family a long, long time. |
