This rare WWII-era Steinway M has been rebuilt, including all-new Renner hammers, shanks, and flanges from Germany, all new wires and tuning pins, and a new satin ebony finish. During WWII, Steinway’s contribution to the war effort was manufacturing wooden gliders like the ones that delivered American troops behind enemy lines in Normandy on D-Day. They also manufactured over 2,000 “Victory Verticals”, tough little combat-ready uprights that could withstand being dropped by parachute into a combat zone. This piano is one of the few “normal” pianos that Steinway built in their spare time during the war years, hence its rarity. A new Steinway M with an ebony finish sells new today for $95,800 with a 5-year warranty. Even if you got a generous discount from a new Steinway dealer, you would still end up paying at least double the price of this piano with only half the warranty coverage we offer with all our used pianos. If you are looking for an amazing Steinway grand at an unthinkable price in the world of new Steinways, snap this piano up before someone else does!
