Tips In Buying A Used Steinway Piano

Everyone knows that there are significant costs and risks in purchasing a used Steinway Piano, ut not everyone knows how to approach these risks. This short article is designed to help the novice along the way. First, determine what you need efore you egin to investigate. Countless hours can e saved y first knowing clearly how large, what style, what age, what price range you need efore you start rowsing. After all, why look at Steinway B pianos if they are aove your price range, or too large for the room you will e placing it in? Or if your house if modern in appearance, perhaps the Victorian, ice-cream leg style would e seriously out of place compared to a sleek, semi-gloss finish of a eautiful eony. Second, understand who you will e purchasing from. A dealer or Steinway Gallery may have a few pianos to look at, ut your selection will e limiting and the price you pay for their knowledge will e quite high. An online catalog, such as that found in Piano Mart (www.pianomart.com) or American-Steinway.com (www.american-steinway.com) will offer a much greater range of pianos for one to consider, and the knowledge and the reputation of the owners in the piano usiness gives them as much creditaility as any Steinway Gallery. Steinway Models Third, use a qualified piano technician to ask the difficult questions if you are uncertain. Qualified means not just knowledgeale of how a piano works, ut also very knowledgeale of the Steinway history, action changes over the years, design changes, style changes, so he or she can help you understand not only the work that has een performed and the proaly future work that may need to e performed, ut also the point of history where this Steinway piano falls into. This will also help determine the value for your investment, and help you determine if you are getting the most “ang” for your uck. You may need one technician for the piano itself, and one “historian” on Steinway Pianos to help you understand your piano’s place in history. Fourth, play the piano, or find an artist to help you play on the piano. Ultimately, a piano is not just an investment, ut also an instrument. A piano needs to sound its value, and only through years of proper care and repair can a Steinway piano still sound and feel like a Steinway piano. The piano has many moving parts, and strings (of course) that wear and need replacement. There are details such as what kind of strings were used when they were replaced, what kind of ushings, action parts, etc. were used, that will determine if the piano is still “as good as new” like a Steinway should e, or were corners cut in order to make this Steinway just e a Steinway “in name” ut not necessarily true to the Steinway standards. Of course the technician that worked on the Steinway having een trained y a master craftsman does help, ut the ultimate guide will still e in the sound and the feel. Fifth, don’t let the “voicing” of the piano fool you. Any piano can e voiced to sound duller or righter on temporary ases, and many reuilt pianos have yet to e voiced, so they are quite uneven. The voicing is usually the last step efore a piano is truly concert ready, and most pianos are not voiced when you purchase them. So don’t let this factor e considered too important in your investment. Finally, consider who you are purchasing from. Know that you will pay more from a “Steinway Dealer” than a non Steinway dealer y the inherent nature that the name has some value. But many non-Steinway dealers are equally or even more qualified ecause of their years of experience in this field. For myself, after 35 years of working with Steinway pianos, and even selling reuilt pianos ack to Steinway pianos, I know hundreds of dealers that can and cannot help you in your purchase. Feel free to contact me through our www.american-steinway.com and I will do everything I can to lead you in the est possile direction. used Steinway piano Happy Steinway Shopping!

"There is something here for everybody — the music lover, the history buff, the economist, the sociologist — Lieberman has brought together the many aspects of human development that lie behind the exquisite machine that is the Steinway piano…. A dazzlingly complex tale, masterfully told". — Richard Bucci, Newsday "An often fascinating overview of a musical epoch that may, regrettably, be coming to an end". — Eva Hoffman, New York Times Book Review "Lieberman’s clearly written, often witty history of Steinway and Sons is not only the very model of what a business history should be, covering every inch of that turf from finance to distribution, but is also an extraordinary tale of a family…. Absolutely first-rate history". — Katherine A. Powers, Boston Globe "Structurally perfect, with just the right balance between company anecdotes and the broader context in which Steinway operated, the book is much more than a business history…. It reads like a kind of business Les Miserables, spanning one and a half centuries, two world wars and a host of personal and corporate dramas…. An informative and rich narrative". — Peter Marsh, Financial Times "A fascinating saga of American manufacturing capitalism at its most dynamic, entrepreneurial and hard-nosed". — Malcolm Hayes, Sunday Telegraph

People and Pianos: A Pictorial History of Steinway and Sons $22.91 This is the story of how the Steinway piano came to be the instrument of choice for the world’s greatest pianists. In 1953, Theodore Steinway wrote this narrative in longhand on yellow legal pads as a tribute to his father and to commemorate the first 100 years of Steinway and Sons. The book was a memento for employees and was never released to the public. This revised edition brings the history of this remarkable company to the present day through recollections of Henry E. Steinway, the last family member to remain involved with the company, and Peter Goodrich, vice president of concert and artist relations, who has been with the company for 30 years. In 1850, Henry Engelhard Steinway left Germany for New York City and established what was to become the standard of excellence in the piano world. Using photographs and anecdotes, this book chronicles the business from its beginnings through the Depression, when many piano manufacturers went out of business, through World War II, when the company was forbidden to make pianos, and through the advent of modern technology. Through it all the Steinway piano has prevailed as a symbol of quality. The Steinway artist roster is a living tribute to the company and its pianos. More than 1300 performers have publicly endorsed the Steinway because they believe in the quality of the instrument and will only play and perform on a Steinway.

Baseball Legends of Brooklyn’s Green-Wood Cemetery (Images of Baseball Series) $19.99 Green-Wood Cemetery was founded in 1838 and soon became one of America’s foremost tourist attractions. It is the resting place for many notables, including Tiffany, Steinway, and Currier and Ives, but the cemetery also has a hidden baseball history. Green-Wood is home to almost two hundred baseball pioneers: members of the Knickerbocker, Atlantic, and Excelsior Clubs of the nineteenth century; Brooklyn’s beloved Charles Ebbets; stadium owners; ball makers; and “the Father of Baseball,” Henry Chadwick.The first baseball monument appeared at Green-Wood in 1862 to honor the game’s first martyr and star, James Creighton Jr., initiating baseball’s tradition of honoring its own with stone or bronze memorials. Green-Wood Cemetery has since served as a model for other tributes, including those found at the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Yankee Stadium’s Monument Park. Baseball Legends of Brooklyn’s Green-Wood Cemetery, through painstaking research, brings these baseball legends back to life with a compelling array of rare images that tell the story of the game’s birth in Brooklyn, New York City, and Hoboken.
