"Best of the Very Best"

Model E-272
Concert Grand

Description

The Steingraeber E-272 Concert Grand Piano was newly constructed between 1997-2002. Since then, many pianists rate it as one of the most outstanding, distinctive instruments available. Unique features include: the star-shaped and half-timbered cross beams, and the “incredibly agreeable” (cit. Cyprien Katsaris) touch. The most uncommon feature however, is the shape of the soundboard in the treble. The resonating space has been redesigned, based on the classical relationship between string length and resonating space. Steingraeber strings have up to 27% less wood mass to penetrate than comparable instruments. The result is a tone that is present and singing, even with softer hammers. Thus, Steingraeber has succeeded in producing a new sound quality that is perfect for the performance of 18th and early 19th-century music, while also being suited to the percussive requirements of the 20th and 21st-century music. This distinguishes the E-272 from outstanding concert grands by other manufacturers. Available as shown or in custom wood finishes.
