The Steinway & Sons Model D is the apex of Steinway magic. A true concert grand piano these 9′ instruments are as impressive visually as they are acoustically. The true ‘king of instruments’ Steinway Model D Concert Grands Pianos are the standard by which other concert pianos are judged and compared. These standard-setting instruments grace the stages of high-level concert venues across the globe. Based on the earlier concert grand from Steinway known as the Centennial Grand, the Model D was and is a culmination of Steinway piano design.
Featuring a roaring, robust bass and an amazingly broad and beautiful overall tone, these instruments feature a power that reaches to the farthest corners of any concert hall. Accomplished musicians love its majestic size and spine-tingling timbre. The action is incredibly responsive and capable of providing the highest level of artistic expression. Designed to fill the space of great concert halls, these models are sometimes found in private homes. This is not common, due to their expansive dimensions and premium price point.
Weighing almost 1,000 pounds, these heavy, imposing instruments feature a rim constructed of seventeen continuously bent hard rock maple laminations. This creates a rim that is incredibly strong and stable. The scale is overstrung and features both front and rear duplexes. All of Steinway’s legendary innovations have culminated in this one amazing concert level instrument.
