A unique designer Mid-Century Steinway!

This very unique Mid-Century Special Edition Steinway Model M was handcrafted in New York in the mid-1950s and was thoughtfully restored within the last 25 years.

In 1953, to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the company, Steinway & Sons commissioned a new limited-edition piano design from renowned industrial designer Walter Dorwin Teague. Known as 'The Contemporary' Sketch 1111, Teague's design was a masterpiece of Mid-Century Modernism: Simple and sophisticated, featuring clean lines, a streamlined case, round tapered legs, and unique metallic pedal lyre and ferrule accents. 

Produced in very limited quantities through the mid-1960s, Sketch 1111 was unavailable new from Steinway for nearly 50 years. In 2018, Steinway introduced a reproduction of this Mid-Century design as part of its Limited Edition, now known as 'The Teague,' which is still available new from Steinway with a selling price of over $146,000.

This instrument is a classic example of Modernist design, from the original production run but recently restored to excellent visual and musical condition.  It will be a natural fit in mid-century styled homes and also pairs well with contemporary styled décors.

Thoughtfully restored.

This instrument received substantial restoration work within the last 25 years, while preserving and retaining all of Teague's original design elements, including the Mid-Century styled legs, metallic pedal lyre, and textured harp finish.

Based on our inspection, the restoration work included:

  • New pinblock
  • Original Steinway soundboard restored and refinished
  • New strings
  • New tuning pins
  • New understring felts
  • New satin ebony finish
  • New Steinway contemporary fallboard decal applied
  • Restored chrome hardware

Original matching bench included.
