The Steinway baby grand piano debuted almost a century ago in the 1930s. This impressive instrument was inspired by the dream of allowing the magic of Steinway to be heard in any space, regardless of its size. For those concerned about size, the Model S is the smallest of the Steinway grands. Standing at just 5′ 1″” (155 cm), the Model S is a great choice for smaller spaces and homes.
Length: 5′ 1″ (155 cm)
Width: 57¾” (147 cm)
Net Weight: 540 pounds (252 kg)
The Steinway Model S features three solid spruce braces, measuring 1,050 cubic inches in volume (17,202cm3). These reinforcements provide high tensile strength whilst reducing the weight added to the instrument. A seamless foundation is created by fastening the spruce braces to the rim and cross-block with maple dowels, onto which the tonal component is layered. For smaller grands with reduced tension, a treble bell is not a necessity.
Overstrung; combination agraffe; front and rear duplex.
Tension: 32,332 lbs. (14,550 kg)
The baby grand piano’s ribs are crafted from long-lasting sugar pine to ensure the durability and reinforcement of the down bearing of the strings across the soundboard. The rib ends are fitted by hand.
Resistant to rust; nickeled heads; made from choice bluing steel.
Treble: crafted from high-tensile Swedish steel; twelve whole and one-half sizes. Bass: pure copper wound around a Swedish steel core Longest: agraffe/bridge; 45½” (116 cm)
Top and underfelt made from superior wool which is treated to be insect and moisture repellent. The shape is maintained by compression wiring. The hammer mouldings and shanks are crafted from premium hard rock maple.
Choice wool is cut horizontally to ensure successful dampening, adhered with durable maple heads.
Steinway baby grand piano keys are produced only from carefully selected European spruce. Each key is precisely weighed-off. The white naturals are coated to be resistant to staining and chipping. Black flat and sharp keys are abraded to be slip-proof and ebonised for rich colour. Peak tonal power is assured with each touch by durable Linden wood buttons reinforcing the keys over the balance rail. The longest key measures 19″ (48.3 cm).
The keybed is formed from quarter-sawn spruce planks. Birch planks are cut horizontally and vertically to provide a vented system that allows moisture to escape. Enjoy heavy playing with a crowned and reverse-crowned action frame that ensures a tight fit, preventing ‘slapping’ and allowing for intensified key movement. A sturdy mount for adjustable brass touch-regulating screws is offered by the large maple down ends. Thickness: 1¾” (4.45 cm).
Finished from durable, solid brass. Ideal for soft, sustained and full sostenuto play.
