Steinway & Sons Model C Semi-Grand Pianos measure approx 7’5″ in length and are among the rarest of the larger Steinway Grand Pianos. Considered a ‘semi-concert’ grand, these instruments were first produced in New York between 1878 and 1905. These pianos continued to be produced in smaller, custom requested runs between 1906 and 1936 and they are still manufactured at the Hamburg Steinway Factory. This instrument has been restored by Chupp's Piano Service.

Steinway Model C #192829 was built in 1919 and is one of only 171 "modern" Model C Grands produced at the New York Factory, making this piano incredibly rare! This instrument features a modern Sketch 380 cabinet with square arms. The cabinet has been expertly refinished in a closed pore, hand-rubbed satin ebony lacquer. This contrasts beautifully with the re-plated, original nickel hardware. Steinway Model C #192829 is a truly unique and special instrument - taking its place as a transitional piece in the long history of early 20th century piano models and styling. 

The piano’s action has been rebuilt with the finest quality parts including new wippens and Steinway & Sons hammers, shanks, and flanges. Our piano technicians have completed extensive action and tone regulation to bring out a responsive touch and the iconic, New York Steinway tone. The original damper heads have been refinished and new damper felts installed. The massive cast iron plate, the backbone of the piano, was expertly rebronzed. New premium German music wire and custom copper wound bass strings was fitted to blued tuning pins that shine like jewels. These were then driven into a new, custom-fitted hard maple pinblock. A new solid spruce soundboard combines for optimum stability and quality of tone.
