1921 Steinway & Sons D Grand ES (Rebuilt)

A 1921 Steinway Model D is a 9-foot concert grand piano from the celebrated “Golden Age” of piano building, widely regarded as one of the finest instruments ever produced for the concert stage. Built with exceptional materials and craftsmanship, it typically features a 16-ply laminated hard rock maple rim for strength and resonance, along with a solid spruce diaphragmatic soundboard that enhances projection and tonal complexity. Many examples from this era retain original ivory keytops and finely crafted action components, reflecting the meticulous attention to detail of early 20th-century Steinway production. Renowned for its powerful, commanding bass, rich tonal depth, and wide palette of nuanced colors, the Model D delivers the dynamic range and projection required for major concert halls and professional performance settings. When properly restored and maintained, these instruments continue to rival modern concert grands, making them highly sought after by concert pianists, institutions, and collectors alike. A 1921 Model D stands as both a world-class performance instrument and a historic benchmark of piano design and artistry.
