1991 Steinway & Sons B Grand ES (Pre-Owned)

1 / 8

The Steinway Model B, a grand piano measuring 6’11”, is often called “the perfect piano” due to its exceptional balance of size, power, and rich tonal quality. It is a highly sought-after instrument that fits comfortably in a variety of settings, including homes, professional studios, and small performance venues, offering a sound close to that of a full concert grand with more manageable dimensions. This model is a perennial favorite among serious players and professionals. Key Features and Construction Size and Versatility: At nearly seven feet (6’11”), the Model B is considered a popular “semi-concert” size. Its balanced sound and strong projection make it ideal for a diverse range of uses: practice, teaching, recording, and intimate concerts. Acoustic Quality: The piano produces a deep, robust bass and a clear, projecting, bell-like tone, effectively achieving the expansive sound of larger instruments in a smaller footprint. Action and Touch: It is renowned for its highly sensitive, responsive, and precise action, offering players an excellent dynamic range. Premium Construction: Rim: Constructed from multiple layers of hard rock maple, ensuring structural stability and superior tonal characteristics. Soundboard: Crafted from high-quality Sitka spruce, featuring a wider tail design (similar to the Model D) to enhance overall resonance. Innovative Design: The Model B incorporates patented features such as duplex scaling and the treble bell (treble resonator) to produce a more complex and resonant sound, particularly in the upper register. Popularity The Steinway Model B has remained a benchmark instrument in the piano world for over a century, consistently favored by professional pianists for both practice and performance.
