His passing was announced by Milan’s La Scala opera house on March 23. Read more >>

Steinway A or B model...what's the better deal?
on: February 20, 2013, 09:14:10 PM
Hi all,

My name is Lauriejeanne and I just signed up. Looking forward to good conversation and learning a few things from you all. I have a quick question and it is related to the subject of this post. I live in SoCal and a piano company is being bought out by another...they are offering discounts on the A as well as B models...what would be a good price for a new A model?

Thanks,

Lauriejeanne

Thanks Ian! Very informative!

Can you or anyone else out there give me a good idea on the price of a new Model A?  I want to know that if I purchase it now from this dealer, that I truly am getting a deal and not that he's inflated the MSRP to make it look that way.

Thanks in advance

What are the prices of the instruments in your list?
Do you have any model A in your inventory?

Hello!


Where are you located?
Poland, but we have instruments in Berlin, London, Paris, Vienna, Philadelphia.


Are the pianos restored in your own workshops?
Yes

Do you have any model A in your inventory?
Yes, one in London:
https://www.gumtree.com/p/for-sale/steinwaysons-model-a-building-year-around-1915-beautiful-restored/1008137431

How do you rate model A v model B?
S&S B-stronger sound, although our A models are also sounding brilliant. But the best solution is if you come and see our pianos.


Where are you from?
Are you a piano dealer, musician, piano teacher, technician?
