Steinway & Sons prices right now: 407 priced Steinway & Sons pianos listed on US Piano Connection ask $1,500 to $250,000, median $58,500 (live, refreshed hourly). Prices by model · Free appraisal
Steinway & Sons has defined the concert grand since 1853, and no brand holds value like it. A Steinway is a hand-built instrument designed to be rebuilt: with a quality restoration, an 80-year-old Steinway can be — and often is — a better instrument than many pianos sold new today.
That longevity cuts both ways for buyers. The used market includes everything from meticulously restored instruments to tired pianos trading on the name, and the difference is tens of thousands of dollars of restoration work. The provenance and the rebuilder's reputation matter as much as the serial number.

View detailsBuying a used Steinway & Sons: what to check
- Ask who restored it and what was replaced — a Steinway rebuilt with genuine parts by a respected shop is a different asset than a cosmetically refreshed one
- Check the soundboard for cracks and the pinblock's tuning stability; these are the expensive repairs
- Original condition isn't automatically better: a 1920s Steinway with its original action will likely need $15,000+ of work to play as intended
- Verify the serial number matches the stated year, and be wary of prices that seem too good — 'Steinway' on the fallboard is the most counterfeited-around name in pianos (watch for 'Steinway-designed' marketing)
Frequently asked questions
Do Steinways really appreciate in value?
Well-maintained and properly restored ones generally have, historically. But restoration costs are real — the appreciation story works when you buy a good instrument at a fair price, not any piano with the name.
Restored vs. original — which should I buy?
For pianos older than ~50 years, a documented quality restoration is usually the better instrument. Original examples matter most to collectors.
What does a Steinway restoration cost?
A full rebuild (soundboard, pinblock, strings, action) from a reputable shop typically runs $30,000–$70,000 — which is why a properly restored used Steinway at $45,000 can be a genuinely fair price.
