This exceptionally stunning Steinway "B" was custom-restored by the foremost Steinway rebuilding company, Charlottesville Piano Co., in 2010 to the owner's specifications after consultations regarding sound-characteristic parameters and visual appearance choices. The Victorian music desk and the rich and multi-layered voicing with a highly responsive German Renner action attests to this synergy.
The calm natural mahogany wood case with original ivories and ebony keys enhances this Steinway's elegance and sets it apart from its black performance-siblings.
Being originally presented to its first steward in 1925 - as international records indicate - this Steinway "B" also falls into the acme-period of Steinway production in regard to material choice and build quality.
It always resided in a special music room where all windows have a low-E treatment to protect the beautiful finish of this gorgeous Steinway grand piano and was regularly serviced.
The owner played a vast variety of music on it from Piaf via Chopin all the way back to Bach. Insured for $126,400 - open to offers after meeting with this instrument.
Shown by appointment only.
Reason for selling: The owner fell in love with a Boesendorfer Grand and there is only one music room...sigh.
