World's Oldest, 1862, Steinway upright piano with a polished, rosewood case and carved, reverse scroll legs. Cabinet features openwork panels in an arabesque design. Piano has eighty-five notes and two pedals. The oldest surviving upright Steinway in the world. To celebrate the 150th anniversary of founding Steinway & Sons, a contest was held in 2003 named 'Search for the Oldest Steinway'. This piano was the winner of the upright piano category. This is Steinway's fifth upright piano constructed at the New York factory. The instrument still has its original soundboard and strings. Hammers and dampers were replaced at the Steinway factory in New York. A unique, historic collector's piece.
