1941 Steinway & Sons Model L Grand Piano | Figured Walnut – Restored

Description

1941 Steinway & Sons Model L Grand Piano | Figured Walnut – Restored #305711

Measuring approx. 5′ 10 1/2″ in length, the Steinway & Sons Model L Grand Piano was originally introduced in 1924. The Model L with its squared-off tail was designed to replace the same-size Model O which featured a rounded tail section. The cast iron plate and soundboard conform to the square tail providing additional soundboard space at the rear of the instrument when compared to its predecessor. The Model L was a New York Factory exclusive, and was produced through 2005. The Model L/O Grand Pianos are the larger ‘baby’ style grand pianos built by Steinway and are among the most popular. These instruments are at home in both home and institutional environments. 

Fully restored, this vintage, ‘golden-era’ grand piano is a feast for both the eyes and ears. The piano’s cabinet includes squared off arms, resting on tapered, spade legs. The cabinet is veneered in a highly figured American walnut. Expertly refinished in a closed-pore, hand-rubbed lacquer, the wood shimmers under light, with a depth and character verging on the three-dimensional! The wood selection available to piano makers in the early 20th century continues to impress to this day.

The piano’s action has been analyzed and the finest, dimensionally correct parts have been used in its restoration. This includes a new all new action including new German Renner wippens, Renner Blue Point hammers, and new Renner shanks, and flanges. A new damper back action has been installed and regulated. New keytops have been installed to the original wooden keysticks and the original ebony sharps were hand sanded and polished. This piano’s action has been regulated and voiced to allow for a responsive touch and the classic Steinway quality of tone. New premium music wire and custom-manufactured copper wound bass strings have been coiled to blued tuning pins. These were driven into a new hard maple pinblock which holds them tightly for a stable tune. The piano features a new custom-fitted solid spruce soundboard.

Restoring the Finest – Expert Piano Craftsmanship Since 1975

We spend many extra hours in the regulation and voicing of each of our rebuilt pianos. From the initial action regulation to the final weigh-off, each step is taken with great care to create a piano worthy of the name affixed to its fallboard. This vintage Steinway & Sons Model L baby grand piano will be no exception. Our process ensures a warm, broad range of tone and a buttery, highly responsive action. This high level of responsiveness and nuanced tone allows the artist to easily unleash a great amount of expression. There is no other piano quite like a vintage Steinway!
