Washignton DC Grand Pianos

Steinway & Sons - Washington DC Grand & Baby Pianos


The production of a Steinway grand piano takes about 12 months. If you add two years of drying and seasoning of the wood, three years have been invested and the instrument can leave the factories in New York and Hamburg to bring joy to its new owner. Throughout the manufacturing process, every grand and upright piano is meticulously hand-crafted. The challenge is to make each instrument perfect in its own special way – a perfect Steinway.
You can choose between six grand piano models which meet every demand. Each model, no matter whether it’s the small  baby grand or the concert grand piano – our largest model – is manufactured according to the same standards to offer just the same: the inimitable Steinway sound.

Model S Baby Grand Piano

At 5 feet 1 inch in length, this "Baby" grand piano was introduced in the 1930s. Don’t let its size fool you! Steinway & Sons’ patented "Diaphragmatic Soundboard"—now found in every Steinway piano produced today—was first developed because of this model. To insure that a powerful and rich tone could be produced by a piano of this size, Steinway redesigned its soundboard, resulting in a tone that greatly outperformed others. And it still does. Every inch a Steinway, this piano is a proud addition to any home.
"When one plays a Steinway, there is a warmth and nobility in the sound that is unequalled by any other instrument"—Emanuel Ax.

It’s a piano that can be enjoyed every day, all day, for a lifetime.
