     Dear colleagues  & Clients

  We've just completed the "Custom Restoration' on Steinway Grand  
piano S/N 258227 .  It is now for sale.

    1929 Steinway 6 ft 4 1/2 inch Model A Steinway
   This piano was owned by 1 family over only 2 generations & was in  
excellent original condition.  It had not previously been rebuilt &  
all parts were original. As many know the long  "Steinway A"  is a  
highly sought after Steinway.  Last being made in 1943, it is a rare  
& awesome model.  Some feel it is the best overall string scale, with  
unusually good bass tenor tonal cross over characteristics.

  Custom Restoration features and work performed:

New custom polished lacquer finish in walnut color with light reddish  
brown tint which highlights the flame in the Mahogany wood. All Nitro  
Cellulose lacquer (no water base) used.

Steinway style quarter sawn maple pin block.  Epoxy fit to plate

The piano has an wonderful tonal capabilities. Tone colors abound in  
a wide dynamic range, giving the truly accomplished pianist more  
tonal resources necessary for broader musical interpretations. It is  
very much A 6 ft 4 inch concert grand.
