Essex EUP-116 Piano: What It's Worth in 2026, Prices & Listings

Size: 45"–46" (116 cm) upright
Made: The Essex line launched in 2001 under Steinway; the EUP-116 is its 46-inch upright

The Essex EUP-116 is the Steinway-designed entry upright built by Pearl River in China: a 46-inch studio piano sold through Steinway dealers as the most affordable way into the Steinway family, with a trade-up policy toward a Boston or a Steinway.

Used EUP-116s are young and usually in good condition. They are valued as good mid-market uprights, not as Steinways.

What to know about the Essex EUP-116

Designed by Steinway, built by Pearl River; it is not a Steinway.
Several cabinet variants (EUP-116E, EUP-116S and others) appear in listings and price similarly.
The Steinway dealer trade-up policy supports resale through those channels.
Compare with a Yamaha b3 or Kawai K-200 of the same size.
