Usato, Steinway & Sons, S-155

Steinway & Sons S-155 (serial #383565) — a compact grand with exceptional presence. This instrument, made in New York in 1963 and acquired from a distinguished estate in Glens Falls, combines the classic Steinway pedigree with an impressive, room-filling voice. The piano retains its original, immaculate soundboard and has undergone a complete reconditioning to concert-level performance, delivering reliability and expressive range.

The case is finished in Select African Mahogany with a polished lacquer high-gloss surface, accompanied by a duet bench. Key Steinway design elements remain intact, including the Diaphragmatic Soundboard, Hexagrip Maple Pinblock and the accelerated action with Permafree bushings — features that support long-term stability and refined touch.

In tone and projection this S-155 rivals instruments of larger dimensions, offering a rich, broad palette more commonly associated with Steinway’s 5'7" Model M. Lightly played in recent years, it presents both technical readiness and a mature, musical voice ideal for serious players or a refined home setting.
