UPDATE: Several of these grand pianos have now been sold. #275187 and #233201 are still available.
The Steinway & Sons Model D is perhaps the most iconic concert instrument in world history. These 9’ grand pianos truly are the apex of Steinway engineering and craftsmanship. The Model D offers artists a level of expression unlike any other and has come to set the standard by which other concert pianos are judged. It is very rare to find one, let alone several fully rebuilt Model Ds available to compare in any location.

Fully Rebuilt Pianos | Historic Quality
Each one of these vintage Steinway & Sons instruments has undergone an exacting rebuilding process to return them to full concert level status. We do not simply change parts, spray on a finish and call the piano ‘restored.’ Our rebuilding process is incredibly extensive, to ensure like new condition and the finest playing experience possible. We utilize the finest piano parts from sources like Steinway and Renner. We fully regulate each piano action and spend hours beyond the norm in tone regulation, to bring out that iconic Steinway tone. We have the experience, Steinway training and passion to ensure the highest level of work possible. Each of these concert grands have their own special qualities, yet are united in their premium level of craftsmanship and artistry. These historic instruments were built in the pre-WWII era, considered by many to be the ‘golden age’ of piano manufacturing. This time period produced some of the finest instruments in the history of the industry. These grand pianos are respected for their history, incredible craftsmanship and pure musicality. This is a tradition that we are very proud to continue.
