Steinway Model A Piano: What It's Worth in 2026, Prices & Listings
- Size
- 6'2" (188 cm) grand; the A-III of 1913–1945 was 6'4½"
- Made
- Introduced in 1878; several redesigns, including the A-II and A-III; the current 6'2" A dates from 2005
The Steinway Model A is the parlor grand: larger than the O, smaller than the B, with a history of redesigns that matters when you value one. The original 1878 A was six feet; the A-III of 1913–1945 stretched to 6'4½" and is a favourite of rebuilders; the current A is 6'2".
On the used market, "Model A" can mean any of these. Know which one you are looking at before comparing prices.

What to know about the Steinway Model A
- The A-III (1913–1945) is widely considered the finest of the As and prices accordingly when rebuilt.
- Between 1945 and 2005 New York did not make an A; used As from those decades are Hamburg pianos or older instruments.
- Post-2005 New York As are modern pianos and are valued near new when lightly used.
- Art-case As (Empire, Hamburg Art Deco, Tulip) are collectible and price separately.
