Description:

FOR SALE: ONE OF THE BEST STEINWAY PIANOS EVER, FROM THE "GOLDEN AGE" OF STEINWAY: A 1933 STEINWAY and SONS MODEL L GRAND PIANO (5' 10.5") w/walnut case and ivory keys. Serial # 277834. Model L was replaced around 2006 by Model O, which is identical, except for the shape of the tail (back end). The wider "square tail" of the L allowed room for a little more soundboard vibrating area near the bass bridge than the O, with its standard round back end. Model L (large) and Model O are both superior in tone and power to the smaller Steinways: Model S (small) and Model M (medium). The current Model O lists for about $108,000. A $1200 Jansen Artist Bench with adjustable height is included. FULLY RESTORED. The case has its original finish, but still looks very good cosmetically, so it does not need refinishing. The ivory keys are not chipped or damaged. Internally it has been fully rebuilt, in two stages: ACTION PARTS REPLACED AROUND 2007 WITH GENUINE STEINWAY PARTS: *New Steinway Hammers, shanks, flanges, jacks, wippens, bushings, and assorted felt and leather pieces. MAJOR RESTORATION DONE JULY 2022 BY MACKIE PIANO RESTORATION: * Soundboard dried, cracks shimmed, and refinished. Bridges refinished. * Painted cast iron plate; buffed agraffes; replaced felt. * Replaced original pinblock with new Bolduc pinblock. * All new tuning pins, size 2/0. *All piano strings replaced. * Installed new string damper felt: adjusted dampers and pedals. *Polished the brass pedals. *Fully regulated the action. *New set of brass casters. Exceptional build quality, and superb action; ASTOUNDING tone. Try it yourself, and prepare to be impressed. ***BONUS: Includes a $500 "DAMPP-CHASER" HUMIDITY REGULATION SYSTEM. This is a custom-installed humidifier and dehumidifier setup, also known as a "Piano Life Saver". It's discretely tucked away inside the cabinet, and it's almost maintenance-free. The main thing you need to do is refill the water tank when the indicator light blinks. By keeping the piano's wood components at the same moisture content year-round, this helps to prevent the tuning from fluctuating daily with the humidity of the room, between one tuning and the next. It also helps prevent swelling, shrinking, sticking, cracking, warping, and misalignment of the various wood parts.*** WARRANTEED FOR 5 YEARS against any major defects.
