Steinway Model S | Small yet Powerful
Diminutive. Classic. A grand sound for a small space.
Out of the seven basic sizes of Steinway & Sons Grand Pianos, the Model S is the smallest. Measuring 5’1″ in length, these miniature grand pianos are a scaled down version of its slightly larger sister, the Model M. The first Steinway Model S #280968 was completed at the New York Steinway & Sons factory on October 1st, 1935. The Hamburg Steinway factory soon followed and the first Hamburg Steinway S was completed in 1936. The small design of the Model S was a response to the growing demand for pianos sized for use in smaller rooms inside of homes.
People choose a grand over an upright due to its beautiful design, quality of tone and touch. The feel and response of the action mechanism of a grand piano provide the key difference, and the action of a Steinway is generally considered the gold standard. If you are looking for a piano that takes up a small amount of space, but still affords the delicate touch and distinctive feel that only a grand piano can deliver, look no further than a Model S grand. Model S Grand Pianos are a favorite practice piano for pianists the world over due to its convenient size yet beautiful, full-bodied tonal range.
The Model S measures 5’1” in length – your choice for a grand when space is limited. We regularly see Steinway & Sons Model S Grands here at our rebuilding facility and showroom.
