A new Steinway D has been gifted to our local college.  It is "newish".  Serial #581649.  It came from a dealer who was using it as a rental but is in good shape.  Needs some regulation and voicing etc.

 One of the first things I would check is the bearing, then the crown, then look for excessive lacquer in the 5th octave.  The ridges aren't a problem with newer STeinways, the flat soundboards are. 
REgards,
