Introducing the c.1898 Steinway Model A grand piano The Steinway Model A measures 6'2" (188 cm) in length, making it slightly larger than the ever-popular Model O. Its longer bass strings and increased soundboard area contribute to a richer, more colourful tonal palette and enhanced musical presence. Originally manufactured circa 1898, this exceptional instrument has recently undergone a comprehensive restoration by one of Europe's leading piano restoration specialists, using genuine Steinway components throughout. Presented in superb condition, it retains the charm and character of an early Steinway "old-style" grand, featuring 85 keys and two pedals, and is finished in a striking high-gloss lacquered rosewood veneer. Elegant period details include the beautifully turned "elephant leg" casework, an intricately carved music desk, and the original ebony and ivory key surfaces. As such, the piano is not only a remarkable musical instrument but also a stunning piece of late Victorian craftsmanship. Following its arrival at our Haslemere showroom, the piano received a bespoke preparation by our in-house technician, including fine regulation, voicing, and tuning. It is now on display and available for comparison alongside our selection of new, used and restored grand pianos. Dominic Barnett – Chamberlain Pianos A unique character piece With a beautiful rosewood veneer, our c.1898 Steinway Model A benefits from a high gloss polyester lacquer finish for a lustrous shine and lasting durability. Many pianos of this era were 'modernised' in the 1930's, yet the ornate elephant legs remain, along with the beautifully carved music desk and inlaid marquetry Steinway & Sons logo on the fallboard. A top quality musical instrument and a wonderful period furniture piece, certain to become the focal point of the room. Restoration by the premier Steinway specialists Having been sourced and its restoration commissioned by Chamberlain Pianos, our Steinway Model A has been beautifully and sympathetically restored by Europe's premier piano restoration house, specialising in Steinway pianos. The original casework and cast iron frame remains, along with the ebony and ivory keyboard to retain as many of the piano's original features as possible. The critically important moving components however have all been replaced, including a new top action from Steinway Hamburg, along with all perishable components. Bespoke setup & warranty Prestige instruments from Chamberlain Pianos are supplied with a complimentary bespoke setup in your home, along with a five year warranty for your peace of mind. Fine adjustments to the voicing and regulation can personalise your piano to your playing style and repertoire, while also enabling the piano to sound its best in the room.
