Steinway’s “Professional” 1098 upright is one of the most popular vertical pianos ever produced by this venerable American piano manufacturer. This model has been widely used in the most demanding institutional settings for many decades. Steinway’s patented Accelerated Action incorporated into the design of this piano is amazingly responsive, due in part to a unique design feature that uses the force of gravity to bring the hammers back to their rest position, an exclusive feature found only in Steinway vertical pianos. The massive and strategically placed back posts on this model ensures the structural integrity of the instrument by handling the tremendous tension with complete efficiency. For many years the model 1098 has been popular in conservatories and schools of music, houses of worship, and practice studios. Considering its design and construction it is more than well-suited for home use and will provide worry free service and pleasure for many years to come.
