REBUILT 1916 Steinway B EP | 178888

The Steinway & Sons Model B is one of the company’s most celebrated baby grand pianos, typically measuring about 6′ 11″ (211 cm) in length. It sits between the smaller Model O and the larger professional Model D in the Steinway grand lineup, offering a compelling blend of rich, resonant tone and a size that fits well in both home and studio settings. Often nicknamed “the perfect piano,” the Model B is prized for its balanced sound, expressive dynamic range, and versatility—qualities that make it equally at home in teaching studios, refined living rooms, and smaller performance venues.

Like all Steinway pianos, the Model B is handcrafted using premium materials and traditional construction methods that have defined the brand since its founding in 1853. It features an overstrung scale, sturdy cast‑iron plate, and finely regulated action, giving pianists responsive touch control across a wide range of repertoire. Although less powerful than a full concert grand, its tone and dynamic potential are often compared favorably to larger instruments, contributing to its status as a favorite among serious pianists who want a high‑level grand without the footprint or cost of concert models.

Because of its enduring reputation and widespread use, new and vintage Model B pianos continue to be sought after on the secondary market, with many players valuing restored examples for their classic Steinway voice and performance characteristics.
