Steinway - April 2021
While the brand recognition of many traditional piano manufacturers has diminished over the last few decades, the appeal of Steinway and Sons has endured.
In uncertain times the discerning are reassured by traditional investment forms and Steinway instruments remain as popular in China as they do in America and Europe for this reason. Piano Auctions are ideally placed to serve both buyer and seller wishing to take advantage of this buoyant market. In our forthcoming sale we are pleased to be able to offer six upright and nineteen grand examples.
This number will include an attractive New York model K upright in walnut from 1969 and a model A grand piano from 1986 in the ever fashionable bright ebony finish.
