The Steinway Model S is considered by many to be the quintessential "baby
grand piano." At just over five feet in length, this piano is often used as a
"concert piano" for small venues, churches, apartments, living rooms, music
rooms and music parlors. Its mechanics are as exacting as any of the
Steinway grand models, with excellent tone and the famous Steinway piano
action touch response (with legato, presto, prestissimo, staccato and
monotone techniques easily achieved). Its range of volume -- from pianissimo
to forte to sforzando -- is excellent when played within a proper space, and of
course, when expertly tuned and regulated.

1936 was the first year for the Steinway Model S and a great many were
produced. “Josef Hofmann was so enthusiastic,” writes Richard Lieberman in
Steinway & Sons (Yale University Press, 1995), “that he bought 50 such
pianos for the Curtis Institute.” It is in mahogany, has ivory keys, and is in
excellent condition, great tuning stability and has large volume with plenty of
sustain.

The case is very clean and the soundboard is tight. It has perfect ivory keys,
tunes well, and plays excellently. It’s somebody’s home piano, with a
wonderfully interesting history. Make it yours today!
