Steinway & Sons – Model A-188 – fully restored

Steinway & Sons Model A-188 – A well-balanced grand piano with the Hamburg sound tradition

The Steinway & Sons A-188 combines the proven craftsmanship of the Hamburg piano-making tradition with a highly versatile size. With a length of 188 cm, this grand piano offers an impressive balance of tonal volume, playing comfort, and proportions well suited to private interiors.

Versatile dimensions with impressive tonal development

The Steinway A-188 is equally suited to sophisticated private music rooms and professional use. Its dimensions allow for a powerful and sustaining tonal development while remaining more compact than a full concert grand. This makes the model an attractive choice for pianists seeking a high-quality instrument that integrates comfortably into a wide range of spaces.

Rounded tone with a clear structure

The sound of this grand piano is rounded, clear, and profound. The bass provides a powerful foundation, while the middle and upper registers remain transparent and well differentiated. This balanced tonal character supports lyrical passages as convincingly as dynamically demanding repertoire and offers a broad range of musical expression.

Precise and controlled touch

Steinway & Sons’ in-house action provides a controlled, precise, and dynamic playing experience. It responds reliably to different nuances of touch and enables refined interpretation throughout the entire dynamic range. The grand is therefore equally suitable for advanced players and professional pianists.

Fully restored and carefully prepared

The instrument has been fully restored and professionally prepared with great care. The work included the installation of new hammer heads and new strings. In addition, the action was serviced, and the grand was tuned several times, regulated, and voiced. The high-gloss black surface was carefully polished and presents itself in beautiful condition.

Suitable for private and professional settings

With its combination of tonal quality, precise touch, and classic design, the Steinway & Sons A-188 is ideal for discerning private clients, music schools, studios, hotels, salons, and smaller concert halls. It also offers advanced players and professional musicians a well-balanced instrument for daily practice, teaching, and musical work.
