Steinway & Sons Model V Upright Piano – c1973

This Steinway Model V upright piano dates from around 1973 and features the distinctive contemporary-style cabinet with a top lid that opens in the manner of a grand piano. Combining professional upright dimensions with a design that remains as striking today as when Steinway first introduced it, the Model V offers a compelling blend of elegance and musical performance.

As a full-height professional upright, it delivers the scale and tonal presence many pianists seek when a grand piano is not practical. The clean architectural lines and innovative opening lid create a strong visual statement, allowing the piano to become a focal point in both traditional and contemporary interiors.

Previous owners have maintained this piano carefully throughout its life, and it remains in excellent condition. The cabinet retains its distinctive style, while the instrument continues to showcase the quality and craftsmanship for which Steinway is renowned.

Tonally, this Model V offers a warm and refined European voice. The bass delivers depth and authority, while the middle register sings with colour and expression. The treble remains clear and lyrical without becoming harsh. Its professional height allows for impressive tonal breadth, creating a rich and rewarding sound across the keyboard.

The action feels precise, responsive, and consistent. Players can shape phrases confidently and explore a wide range of musical expression. Whether used for daily practice, teaching, or advanced performance, this piano remains engaging and inspiring to play.

This Steinway Model V has undergone preparation in our dedicated workshops by experienced Steinway technicians. It represents an excellent opportunity to acquire one of Steinway’s most distinctive upright designs, combining timeless styling with exceptional musical capability.
