Serial number 62470. This piano was built in Braunsweig, Germany in 1932. It is a Model 140, meaning a length of 140 cm. Grotrian Steinweg is one of the most revered piano builders in the world and are still producing small numbers of hand-built instruments. This piano is a true example of the manufacturer’s art and reputation.
We rarely see these types of pianos and have been fortunate to obtain this one. This is a gem of a true “baby” grand piano – this is consequently one of the smallest grand pianos available, highly sought after as small grands of high quality are very rare. The major advantage of a grand piano for serious pianists is the touch, general feel and response of the action. The problem with small grands is that they lack tone, but the really high-quality ones can be an exception. The advantage of the quality make really speaks for itself, this piano having a wonderful clear tone usually lacking in miniature grands. This piano thus supports both good tone as well as a wonderful touch in such a compact grand.
Eshelby Pianos re-polished this Grotrian to a high gloss black finish (2018). It has new hammers but retains its original ivory keys and all internals – such as the sound board structure, strings and so on. This is something special! The piano is 149 cm in width.
The DE 934 Grötrian Steinweg Grand Pianoforte and stool is currently hired out.
