Steinway & Sons Model S Grand Piano

The Steinway & Sons Model S, crafted in Germany circa 1936, is a rare and historically significant baby grand piano that reflects the golden era of piano manufacturing. This particular instrument is presented in original, unrestored condition, offering a remarkable glimpse into the craftsmanship and tonal character of pre-war European Steinways. Despite its age, it plays well and retains a warm, resonant tone that speaks to the enduring quality of its construction.

One of the most striking features is its 88-note keyboard with unblemished original ivory keytops—an increasingly rare find and a testament to the care this instrument has received over nearly nine decades. The ivory surface offers a tactile experience that modern alternatives often cannot match, appealing to both pianists and collectors alike.

The Model S is Steinway’s smallest grand piano, making it ideal for more intimate spaces without compromising the rich tonal depth Steinway is renowned for. While unrestored, its authenticity and originality may appeal to purists and enthusiasts who value vintage instruments in their true, untouched form. This 1936 German-made Steinway S stands as a living piece of musical history—an elegant blend of aesthetic beauty, mechanical integrity, and historical value.
