A 1973 Steinway Model A grand piano – a sound-history in absolute top condition

For pianists seeking the full, singing tone of a Steinway grand without needing a concert hall, the Model A-188 is one of the most beloved sizes in the Steinway & Sons range. This 1973 example combines the matured tonal character of a well-played instrument with a carefully maintained, technically flawless condition – a grand piano for discerning musicians and collectors.

Proven Steinway construction for a full, sustaining tone

Like every large Steinway grand, the Model A features a solid spruce soundboard and a 16-layer hard maple rim, a patented construction principle used in every Steinway grand since 1878. This construction gives the piano its characteristic Steinway sound: powerful in the bass, singing in the treble, with remarkable projection – despite its compact 188 cm length.

A vintage with a matured tonal character

Grand pianos from the 1970s are prized among connoisseurs for their exceptionally well-played-in sound: the wood and soundboard develop a warm, rounded tone over decades that a new instrument would still need years to reach. This example has been kept in absolute top condition – visually in its deep black high-gloss finish, and mechanically in its 88-key keyboard with the three classic pedals una corda, sostenuto and sustain.

Your benefits at a glance:

• Full grand piano sound: Solid spruce soundboard and 16-layer maple rim for powerful projection.
• Matured tonal character: Decades of playing-in for a warm, rounded tone.
• Room-friendly size: 188 cm length for a big sound in a compact footprint.
• Well-maintained top condition: Visually and mechanically in excellent, pre-owned condition.
• Timeless elegance: Classic black polished high-gloss finish.
