In comparing prices from different Steinway dealers of NEW instruments, you are pretty much assured you are comparing apples to apples. It's interesting to note that more than 50% of ALL Steinways are sold to non-players.

Most are sold to buyers who merely want the finest in their living rooms, and who also have an appreciation for the financial investment of a Steinway. Many of these buyers will have an automatic player system installed on their piano to give them musical pleasure of the instrument as well.

Now, let's talk about buying a Grand Piano from someone like me. Costs for these more established re-established vintage Steinways will change to some degree, yet the distinction in quality can extend immensely. The three fundamental focuses to consider are:

1) were GENUINE STEINWAY REPLACEMENT PARTS utilized? As the Steinway Company says, "If Genuine Steinway Parts have not been utilized, it's not, at this point a pure blood Steinway",

2) what was the EXTENT of the rebuilding? what's more, ultimately,

3) was the WORKMANSHIP of exclusive requirements?

In the first place, realize that the Restored Piano manufacturing plant utilizes several individuals, every one of whom has been prepared to do one of numerous particular positions.For example, one of the lowest paid workers would do nothing more than sweep the floors of wood shavings, while the highest paid are those who do action regulation, voicing of the hammers and tuning.

The restoration of a Steinway involves most of the same steps involved in the making of a new Steinway. While it's possible they might do as good a job as a restoration factory, it's not likely. Each step of the process requires a special talent, and if that knack isn't exercised with great regularity, a less than perfect job will be performed.
