Steinway & Sons Model D | M. Steinert & Sons

Model D Overview

Indisputably the one and only piano model in the world by which all others are judged. One is hard-pressed to find any other piano model being used for performance on a major concert stage anywhere in the world. The official piano of the Boston Symphony Orchestra, New England Conservatory, the Juilliard School, the Curtis Institute, Oberlin College, and over 200 All-Steinway Schools across America, the Steinway Model D has become synonymous with “piano”. The vast majority of professional classical recordings are on Model Ds, and it is well documented that over 95% of concert performances worldwide, when performing with orchestra, feature the Model D exclusively. This model is simply the best possible piano for any pianist–amateur or professional.

Maple dowels fasten braces to rim producing a single homogenous foundation upon which is built the entire tonal component.

The Steinway & Sons iron wedge anchors brace ends securely to crossblock assuring permanent rim posture.

Crowned and reverse-crowned action frame gives a snug fit, intensifies key movement, and prevents “slapping” during heavy playing.
