Serial number: 261760. This Model M was built in Hamburg in 1928.
The Eshelby Family has had an association with this piano for many decades, having sold it, serviced and tuned it, bought it back 50 years later, restored it, offering it for sale or rental and then resold it in 2026. Its influential family ownership means it has a great history and has been played by many top pianists and has seen and heard many tales. The last restoration included fitment of new hammers and bass strings supplied by Steinway, amongst a long list of work both internally and externally.
The piano has a mahogany casing, repolished to a gloss finish. The Eshelby family have sold, serviced and maintained this piano over a period of 55 years, giving sterling service in serious use, a great commendation for the brand if ever there was one!
It is typically Steinway in touch and tone and to elaborate wouldn’t do it justice. It has 88 keys – which fortunately still retains the original ivory naturals and 2 pedals. The piano is 170cm long.
The DE 915 Steinway and Sons grand pianoforte and stool is currently being sold.
