Description
1941 Steinway & Sons Model L Grand Piano | Figured Walnut – Restored #305711
Measuring approx. 5′ 10 1/2″ in length, the Steinway & Sons Model L Grand Piano was originally introduced in 1924. The Model L with its squared-off tail was designed to replace the same-size Model O which featured a rounded tail section. The cast iron plate and soundboard conform to the square tail providing additional soundboard space at the rear of the instrument when compared to its predecessor. The Model L was a New York Factory exclusive, and was produced through 2005. The Model L/O Grand Pianos are the larger ‘baby’ style grand pianos built by Steinway and are among the most popular. These instruments are at home in both home and institutional environments.
Fully restored, this vintage, ‘golden-era’ grand piano is a feast for both the eyes and ears. The piano’s cabinet includes squared off arms, resting on tapered, spade legs. The cabinet is veneered in a highly figured American walnut. Expertly refinished in a closed-pore, hand-rubbed lacquer, the wood shimmers under light, with a depth and character verging on the three-dimensional! The wood selection available to piano makers in the early 20th century continues to impress to this day.
The piano’s action has been analyzed and the finest, dimensionally correct parts have been used in its restoration. This includes a new all new action including new German Renner wippens, Renner Blue Point hammers, and new Renner shanks, and flanges. A new damper back action has been installed and regulated. New keytops have been installed to the original wooden keysticks and the original ebony sharps were hand sanded and polished. This piano’s action has been regulated and voiced to allow for a responsive touch and the classic Steinway quality of tone. New premium music wire and custom-manufactured copper wound bass strings have been coiled to blued tuning pins. These were driven into a new hard maple pinblock which holds them tightly for a stable tune. The piano features a new custom-fitted solid spruce soundboard.
The imposing cast iron plate has been given new life and has been sprayed with a rich bronzed polyurethane. Fully rebuilt and restored, this golden age Steinway Model L grand fully embodies the traits expected of a world-class musical instrument – combining visual and musical beauty into one historic instrument!
Our piano rebuilding process is tailored with the primary focus being the performance of the piano as a musical instrument, capable of supporting the artistry of any pianist – amateur or professional. We have specialized in Steinway piano restoration for over four decades and continue to advance the high level of craftsmanship that was once standard during the ‘golden age’ of piano quality. This piano has been fully rebuilt and regulated. We are confident that you will be quite pleased with this concert-level, historic Steinway grand piano.
