1998 Steinway B Tiffany Grand BUB | 540926

We have just received a stunning and rare addition to our inventory: the Limited Edition Tiffany Steinway Model B. Widely regarded as the most sought-after Limited Edition model ever built by Steinway, this particular piano is #11 of only 200 created. The Tiffany company designed this exquisite instrument to commemorate the 200th birthday of the founder of Steinway & Sons.

The Steinway Tiffany Model B with a player system is an extremely rare and valuable instrument. It unites the acclaimed 6’11” Model B “perfect piano” with exceptional artistry—either as a hand-painted 19th-century art-case or as in this case, the 1990s limited-edition design—and incorporates sophisticated, high-resolution playback technology.

Key Features and Rarity

• The Model B Foundation: Celebrated for its 6’11” length, the Model B offers a balanced sound suitable for homes and studios.
• The “Tiffany” Distinction: This refers to specialized art-case designs. Historical versions, like an 1897 model signed by Arthur E. Blackmore, feature intricate, often hand-painted, artwork with floral motifs, gold leaf, and unique woodwork. A distinct, more recent iteration was released as a 1997 Limited Edition Model B. 
• Collectibility: The convergence of historical art-case status and, in some cases, modern player technology makes these instruments highly valuable and collectible.

These specialized pianos are typically only sourced through high-end, specialized dealerships or private auctions.
