THE STEINWAY MODEL B - THE SALON GRAND  

Serial: 44835

Circa: 1880

Size: 7’

Finish: Satin Ebony

Status: Currently in the Workshop

Our exquisite 1880 Steinway Model B grand piano is a remarkable testament to the innovation and craftsmanship of Steinway’s golden era. What truly sets this instrument apart is its rare and highly distinctive metal bracing, an uncommon design feature that reflects an experimental period in piano construction, offering both structural integrity and a unique tonal character. Complementing this is its over-the-edge hitch pin configuration—an unusual and seldom-seen detail that enhances string termination and contributes to the piano’s rich, resonant voice. The result is an instrument with extraordinary depth, warmth, and historical significance, making it not only a musical treasure but also a fascinating piece of piano-making heritage.

This piano is being meticulously crafted with the same materials and techniques utilized in the creation of Steinway concert grand pianos. It is undergoing a complete remanufacturing, incorporating all NEW Steinway action parts, including the wippens, hammers, shanks, flanges, and dampers.
