This Steinway M is not cosmetically flawless, which explains the unusually low price we are asking for this piano. This piano also has a single soundboard crack that, while visible, has been secured to the ribs, ensuring complete stability and trouble-free performance for decades to come. If cosmetic perfection is your most important consideration, then keep shopping. But, if you want to save thousands of dollars off the typical amount we would charge for a mahogany Steinway M this age, and are less particular about cosmetic perfection, then this is your piano! “Under the hood”, where it really counts, this piano is all original and remains in excellent mechanical condition. It has an intense tone for its size and a supple and responsive keyboard. This piano will provide many years of enjoyment for its lucky new owner. Could that be you?
