2007 Boston GP-163 II | 5’4” Baby Grand | High-Gloss Ebony
Few instruments blend the elegance of a compact grand with the soul of a concert instrument quite like this Boston GP-163 II. Designed from the ground up by the engineers at Steinway & Sons, this 5’4” baby grand delivers a big-piano voice in a footprint that fits beautifully into a living room, studio, or performance space.
Finished in a stunning high-gloss ebony that anchors any room with quiet sophistication, this piano is the rare combination of heirloom craftsmanship and everyday playability — built to be played for decades, not just as admired.
Technical Specifications:
• Steinway-designed “wide-tail” case construction — expands the soundboard’s surface area beyond what’s typical for this size, giving the GP-163 II the depth, power, and presence of a noticeably larger grand piano
• Solid, linearly tapered spruce soundboard — not laminated — engineered for optimal vibrational response, producing a fuller, richer tone with exceptional sustain
• Hard rock maple inner rim — reflects sound energy back into the soundboard rather than absorbing it, for a more resonant, focused voice
• Steinway action geometry with all-wood action parts — delivers precise, responsive touch, pristine repetition, and the kind of tactile “feedback” pianists expect from performance-level instruments
• Duplex scale stringing, adapted from Steinway’s patented design — adds harmonic richness and tonal color unmatched in this price class
• Radial rim bracing — ties the piano’s structural framework together for long-term tuning stability and soundboard integrity
• Mapes solid copper-wound bass strings — ensures pure, lasting tone throughout the bass register
• Pear-shaped, computer-designed hammers — strike the strings at precisely the right point for optimal tonal projection
• Genuine spruce keys, individually balanced and weighted, with synthetic ivory/ebony key covers
• Dimensions: 5’4” (163 cm) length × 59¾” (151 cm) width × 40” (102 cm) height
• Finish: High-gloss ebony polish — showroom-quality shine
• Year: 2007
• Pedals: Soft, sostenuto, and sustain (damper)
Why This Piano Is Perfect for You
For the home enthusiast, this Boston isn’t just furniture — it’s an invitation to play. Its compact 5’4” frame slides into a living room or den without dominating the space, but the wide-tail design means you’re never sacrificing sound for size. Every note rings out with the warmth and depth of a much larger instrument, making practice sessions and living-room performances feel genuinely special.
For the professional musician or serious student, the details matter — and this piano delivers on all of them. The same action geometry found in Steinway’s own instruments gives you the nuanced control needed for expressive dynamics, fast repetition, and confident performance. The solid Sitka spruce soundboard and duplex scale produce a tonal palette with real depth and color, rewarding a trained ear and a discerning touch. It’s a piano that grows with your skill rather than limiting it.
Whether it’s the centerpiece of your practice room or the star of your next recital, this Boston GP-163 II offers Steinway pedigree, professional-grade construction, and timeless high-gloss ebony beauty — at a fraction of the investment of a full Steinway grand.
This is a piano built to be played, loved, and passed down. We will miss it!
