Vintage Steinway Grand Piano: Masterfully Rebuilt

Vintage Steinway Grand Piano: Masterfully Rebuilt

Golden Era Steinway Power and Precision

This is a 1917 Steinway Model O (5′ 10.5″) in a classic Satin Ebony finish.

If you have been looking for that elusive “Golden Era” Steinway sound—the warmth and sustaining power that defined American piano manufacturing in the early 20th century—this instrument is a prime example. At nearly 6 feet in length, the Model O is widely considered the ultimate “living room” grand, offering a bass response that rivals much larger instruments while fitting comfortably in a home setting.

The Restoration

This instrument was rebuilt a number of years ago to ensure stability and longevity. The structural integrity has been renewed with a new pinblock, new strings, and new tuning pins, ensuring the piano holds a rock-solid tuning.

Crucially, the action has been rebuilt using high-quality Steinway components:

• Steinway Hammers
• Steinway Shanks & Knuckles
• Steinway Whippens (Repetitions)
• New Damper Felts

Recent Refinement

While the rebuilding laid the foundation, the magic is in the finishing touches. We have just completed a comprehensive service to bring this piano to its highest potential. The action has been regulated to a high level of performance, ensuring an even, responsive touch across the entire keyboard.

Our technicians also performed extensive key work and pedal adjustments for quiet, precise operation. The Satin Ebony case has been refreshed, presenting a beautiful, classic aesthetic that commands attention in any room.

The Playing Experience

Because this piano features a Steinway action on a vintage soundboard, you get the best of both worlds: the reliability and speed of a modern action coupled with the seasoned, colorful character of old-growth wood. The tone is rich and singing, with a dynamic range that allows for everything from whispering pianissimos to thundering fortissimos.

This is a wonderful opportunity to own a rebuilt, performance-ready Steinway Model O for a fraction of the cost of a new instrument.
