Steinway Model D Piano: What It's Worth in 2026, Prices & Listings

Size: 8'11¾" (274 cm) concert grand
Made: Introduced in 1884; the standard concert grand of the world's stages since

The Steinway Model D is the concert grand: nearly nine feet long, the piano found on most major stages and in the world's leading recording studios. It is built in small numbers and comes to the used market mainly from concert halls, universities, studios and rebuilders.

Used Ds range from unrestored vintage instruments to former concert-hall pianos with full documentation. Every one is a specialist purchase.

What to know about the Steinway Model D

A D needs a large room and serious moving; it is not a domestic piano in any ordinary house.
Provenance (hall, artist use, rebuild shop) matters enormously to a D's price.
Hamburg Ds are the choice of many concert artists and ask a premium.
Have a concert technician assess any D before purchase; the cost of a full rebuild is substantial.
