Steinway & Sons Model M or O Grand Piano, c.1910-1930

Story

Handcrafted in New York during the golden age of American piano building, this instrument represents the pinnacle of acoustic engineering. Each Steinway from this era took nearly a full year to build, passing through the hands of master artisans who tuned the wood itself to sing.

Maker / Origin

Founded in 1853 by German immigrant Henry Engelhard Steinweg in a Manhattan loft, Steinway & Sons revolutionized the piano industry with over 120 technical patents. Their instruments became the choice of the world's greatest virtuosos, celebrated for their unparalleled projection, warm bass, and responsive action.

Condition & Value

The piano shows significant cosmetic wear, including several missing ivory keytops exposing the wood underneath, and minor finish degradation on the fallboard. The internal action, soundboard, and pinblock must be professionally evaluated to determine playability, as these factors heavily dictate the final value.
