How large is this piano?
All grand pianos have virtually identical Width and Height. Length is the only dimension that varies dramatically from one grand piano to the next.
Why is Length important? Longer pianos allow for longer strings and greater soundboard surface area, so they usually produce more sound than smaller pianos, but they naturally occupy more space.
What size should I buy? Most industry professionals recommend choosing the longest piano that your space can comfortably accommodate.
A stunning historic Model D.
If you've had the opportunity to play a Steinway D, you likely know that it's an experience that simply cannot be replicated by another instrument. We're delighted to share a historic example of the world's most preeminent concert grand piano, on which we've just completed a thorough restoration.
The rare Centennial Grand.
Designed by C.F. Theodore Steinway in 1876 to commemorate the United States Centennial, the 8'9'' Centennial Grand was the first Steinway concert grand to receive the ''Model D'' moniker. While immediately recognizable by its beautiful hand-crafted ornate cabinetry, the Centennial Grand also plays a historically significant role in the progression of Steinway & Sons and its establishment as the foremost American piano maker, featuring many new technological advancements of the day including the first capo d'astro features found in a Steinway grand.
By some accounts, fewer than 500 examples of the Centennial Grand were produced, with less than 100 still known to exist as playable specimens.
Musically speaking, the Centennial D is a delight to play. Its tone is perhaps a bit more elegant and refined than subsequent D designs, begging comparison to prominent European instruments.
