I service a few, they hold tuning better than most, the wear of action is slow, and they seem to be nicely prepared whenevre they are made (wher do they come from in fact ?) Never seen a grand under that brand. Congratulations to you ! why ? up to you to decide !

Instrument was named Steinberg. A smallish baby grand rather trashed.. bad cracking in the soundboard including what apparently was a steep compression mound along both sides of a rather minor crack, and to other cracks that looked to be strictly tension cracks. Action was in poor condition but playable, and oddly enough the piano was at 440 and relatively easy to tune... good rendering, good stability. Sounded really thin tho. Two oddities about this piano. The shift pedal shifted the action (Langer) from right to left instead of the usual left to right. I have no idea why ... And there were 8 glide bolts, not in the actionframe but imbedded into the keybed... 4 for the balance rail and 4 under the backrail. Never seen either of these two setups before. The piano was owned by a rich fellow who had it because of sentimental reasons... very important to him he said... but not important enough to spend any real money on. Just wanted it tuned. I have to admit I have some difficulty relating to that rationale. But then I dont have to understand everything in this world now do I ? Cheers RicB _______________________________________________ pianotech list info: https://www.moypiano.com/resources/#archives Hi Ric, I remember older Steinberg grands from a long time ago. I must say they made a nice impression on me. remarkable tone. The new Steinberg uprights, introduced a couple of years ago were also surprisingly nice, and for avery good price. by the by, how yous doin' friendly greetings from André Oorebeek Amsterdam - The Netherlands 0031-20-6237357 0645-492389 0031-75-6226878 www.concertpianoservice.nl www.grandpiano.nl "where music is, no harm can be" ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
