Steinway & Sons Model D Grand Piano – c2006

Steinway & Sons built this concert grand in Hamburg in 2006. One of Britain’s distinguished Royal Theatres originally purchased the instrument, where it formed part of a theatre programme and saw use only on rare occasions.

As a result, it has experienced very limited playing time and remains a remarkably modern example of Steinway’s flagship concert grand. Our workshop team has recently prepared the piano to the highest standard, with the final regulation and setup carried out by John Ross, former Head Technician and Head of Workshop at Steinway & Sons UK for over 38 years. His expertise ensures the instrument performs exactly as a Model D should, with precision, balance and complete confidence across the keyboard. Our team has carefully addressed any minor cosmetic blemishes to the casework, leaving the piano as aesthetically impressive as it is mechanically and acoustically refined.

The touch feels exceptionally fresh, close to that of a new instrument, reflecting both its light usage and careful technical preparation. Tonally, it offers the depth, power and authority expected of a Model D, combined with a pleasing maturity that comes from time and careful settling rather than heavy use. The sound is rich, expansive and refined, with a sense of control and projection that defines Steinway’s concert platform instruments. A rare opportunity to acquire a Hamburg Steinway Model D with genuine British provenance, outstanding preparation and very limited prior use. An instrument of true concert stature, now ready for its next chapter. A new Steinway & Sons Model D costs around £200,000 so this represents an excellent investment opportunity with these significant savings.
