The Steinway & Sons Model M
Compact with a beautiful tone. Popular for its accommodating size and wonderful sound.
The first Steinway & Sons Model M Grand Pianos built in 1911 measured 5’6″ in length. By 1917 the length was increased to what it is today, 5’7″. With a scale designed by piano engineer Henry Ziegler, these pianos were first manufactured in New York. It wasn’t until 1926 that production of this model began at the Steinway factory in Hamburg, Germany. Now dubbed a ‘Studio Grand’ by Steinway & Sons, these well-rounded instruments are the epitome of Baby Grand piano design.
A scaled-down version of the larger Model O, the Model M was designed to provide a slightly smaller and easier to manage alternative to other Steinway Baby Grands. The Model M is still being manufactured today and is a popular staple of both the New York and Hamburg Steinway piano lineups. Steinway Model M Grands are very popular in home settings and are also commonly found in institutional and other professional uses. The 5’7″ Model M is definitely not a piano to underestimate, with a power and range of tone and a quick responsiveness that is sure to please.
Here at Chupp’s Piano Service, we have found that Model M pianos are very popular with advanced pianists and Steinway aficionados. The Model M is one of the most common of Steinway’s lineup of grand pianos – and for good reason. We regularly restore and retail these fine instruments to universities, concert pianists and anyone who appreciates the high quality and beauty that culminates in the name ‘Steinway.’
The Model M measures 5’7” in length – ideal for more intimately-sized spaces. The ideal ‘baby grand’ piano.
