Steinway & Sons - Model 'D'
An eye catching piece that can divide opinion. The casework restoration took many months more that the working interior. The veneer is kingwood in the main with the edge, the legs, lyre and music desk in gold leaf. All the gold leaf was replaced with the wooden part of the case traditionally French polished.
As with all our Steinways we replace the necessary parts with genuine Steinway parts, but with the view that retaining originality is paramount. We are restoring the instrument to its original new state, not making a new piano out of an old one.
The advantage of rebuilding a Steinway is that the design has not changed in basic design in 100 years. There have been improvements mad, but the action is the basically the same and you can fit a new one to and older piano and achieve the touch and feel of a new Steinway. As with all our Steinways we replace the necessary parts with genuine Steinway parts, but with the view that retaining originality is paramount.
