This is a beautiful Steinway & Sons concert piano from the Golden Era. The piano is in original condition, unrestored and still playable. A restoration would bring out the full potential of this magnificent piano - the body with the inlays would also be shown to its full advantage again. The sound character and playing style of Steinway pianos from this period are unique.
