The Golden Tone – Modern Performance

We are pleased to present a true piece of American piano history: a 1927 Steinway Model M Grand Piano from the renowned “Golden Era” of Steinway craftsmanship. Built in New York, this instrument embodies the rich, warm tone and responsive touch that has made the Model M a favorite for both homes and professional studios.

This piano has been carefully maintained and upgraded, pairing its historic integrity with reliable, modern performance.

Highlights of This Exceptional Instrument

1. Golden Era Heritage

• Year Built: 1927, New York — a time when Steinway’s materials and construction methods were at their absolute peak.
• Model M (“Medium Grand”): At 5’7″ (170 cm), the Model M is Steinway’s perfectly proportioned parlor grand. It provides a surprisingly powerful bass and rich tonal depth in a manageable size suitable for virtually any home or teaching studio.

2. Performance Upgrades

This piano has been mechanically revitalized to perform like a new instrument:

• New Action Components: Fitted with new hammers and shanks, ensuring a crisp, powerful tone and renewed dynamic control. The action is fully regulated, offering the famous responsive and fast Steinway touch.
• Restrung: Completely restrung with new bass strings (copper-wound) and steel treble wire. This critical upgrade restores the piano’s original brilliance, sustain, and tonal clarity. New damper felts provide clean tone termination.
• Original Soundboard: Retains its rich tone, a trademark of great Steinways from this period.

Stunning Mahogany Satin Finish

• Finish: Presented in a beautiful Mahogany Satin finish. This rich wood grain is highly sought after as a sophisticated alternative to traditional ebony, offering a classic elegance that blends seamlessly with fine furniture.
• Cabinet: The cabinet and case are in good cosmetic condition, showcasing the piano’s timeless lines and traditional design.

The Sound

This 1927 Model M delivers a warm, inviting, and resonant tone that is characteristic of the pre-WWII Steinway era. Expect a full, singing sustain in the middle and treble registers and a surprising amount of volume and depth from the bass strings — a true hallmark of the Model M scale design.

This is a rare opportunity to own a Steinway from its most celebrated era, ready to inspire for decades to come.
