Boston GP-163 Ed. 2 MP | 145248

The Boston GP-163 PE II (Performance Edition II) is a 5’4″ (163 cm) baby grand piano engineered by Steinway & Sons as part of the Boston piano line. Designed for pianists seeking concert-inspired performance in a more compact footprint, the GP-163 PE II features Boston’s distinctive “wide-tail” grand piano design, which increases the soundboard area beyond what is typical for pianos of similar size. This expanded soundboard allows the instrument to produce a fuller bass response, greater tonal depth, and more projection than many conventional baby grands.

The piano is built using premium materials and advanced acoustic engineering, including a solid Sitka spruce soundboard for enhanced resonance and sustain, a Hard Rock Maple inner rim for structural strength and tonal clarity, and Steinway-designed hammers that contribute to a refined touch and dynamic responsiveness. Additional design elements such as low-tension scaling and precision-crafted action geometry help deliver a warm, expressive tone with excellent control across a wide dynamic range.

As part of the Performance Edition II series, the GP-163 also benefits from updated cabinet construction, improved plate and rim integration, and enhanced musical performance intended to meet the demands of serious students, educators, professional musicians, and discerning home pianists. Combining European-inspired craftsmanship with Steinway engineering principles, the Boston GP-163 PE II offers a sophisticated balance of power, clarity, and playability in a space-efficient grand piano.
