1989 Steinway & Sons L ES (Pre-Owned)

1 / 8

What makes this piano unique? Slightly used Steinway L from a teacher’s home. In perfect conditions and a rare find! The Steinway Model L is a classic 5′ 10½″ (about 180 cm) baby grand piano from Steinway & Sons that has been cherished by musicians and serious pianists for over a century. Introduced in the early 1920s to bridge the gap between smaller grands and full‑size concert instruments, the Model L features a design closely related to the Model O but with a distinct square‑tailed case that maximizes soundboard area for richer tone and resonance in a living‑room‑friendly size. Like all Steinway pianos, the L was crafted by hand using premium materials and techniques developed over Steinway’s 170‑plus‑year history, including carefully selected woods, a robust cast‑iron plate, and a finely voiced action that supports expressive playing. Although production of the Model L ended in 2005 when Steinway reintroduced the Model O, many L grands remain in use today in homes, studios, and smaller performance spaces due to their warm, powerful tone, responsive touch, and enduring build quality. Whether valued as a lifelong personal instrument or a cornerstone of a teaching studio, the Model L represents a blend of traditional Steinway craftsmanship and practical scale that continues to appeal to pianists seeking high‑level performance without the footprint of a larger concert grand.
