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 famed 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 medium-sized, well-rounded instruments are the epitome of Baby Grand piano design.
Designed with a scale based on the larger Model O, the Model M was crafted 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 coupled with 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. Over the years, the Steinway Model M has been offered in numerous cabinets to suit varying interior design styles. 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.

“I purchased a vintage 1916 Steinway M from Chupp’s Piano Service. I was nervous about buying a piano without having tried or seen it, but the piano was in impeccable condition, just as described in our email exchanges, and I am more than happy with it. They were also kind enough to send me high quality videos of the piano being played. The movers they hired to bring the piano across the country were also great. I am very grateful to Chupp’s Piano Service to have brought a truly wonderful and affordable piano to my house.” – Austin Becker
