Description
This original Steinway 1098 Ebony Satin is a very nice recent trade-in piano that is currently going through routine tuning/action regulation and cabinet refinish. It’s a great value at less than half the price of a new Steinway upright.
Due to its good technical condition relative to age, it requires no rebuilding. All parts are original Steinway from the New York factory where it was built. This includes the Solid Spruce Diaphragmatic Soundboard, Hexagrip Pinblock and Steinway Accelerated Action.
It is a perfect piano for someone looking for a full tone and responsive touch, without the space for a baby grand. It is also encased in an elegant ebony satin cabinet that will fit any decor.
The model 1098, along with Yamaha’s legendary P22 and U1 professional uprights, is used by many conservatories and music schools in their practice rooms. In addition to private owners, institutions also love them because of their touch and tone. The 1098 model is also popular because it is a true workhorse piano that can withstand the unstable environment and years of constant play typical of a music school or practice studio.
The instrument includes a 5 year parts & labor warranty, same as new. It also includes the bench and the first tuning free in the home. A 10 year full trade agreement to a future premium grand piano purchase is included.
As an alternative, also consider a brand new Yamaha P22 45″ studio, or a new Yamaha U1 48″ professional upright. Both are well established models and include a 10 year manufacturer’s parts & labor warranty.
