Highlights of This Exceptional Instrument1. Golden Era Heritage

• Year Built: 1927, New York — a time when Steinway’s materials and construction methods were at their absolute peak.

• Original Soundboard: Retains its rich tone, a trademark of great Steinways from this period.

Stunning Mahogany Satin Finish
