1888 Golden Era Steinway Model A (Victorian) – Pristine & Unplayed Since Master Restoration (Delivery Included)
Presenting an extraordinary, investment-grade centerpiece for a serious collector, refined home, or institution: an authentic 1888 Victorian Steinway & Sons Model 'A' Grand Piano (Serial #63071). This historic 85-note "A1" scale design represents the pinnacle of golden-era American piano craftsmanship.
Following a top-tier, comprehensive professional restoration completed by the master craftsmen at Westend Piano Ltd., this piano was purchased directly from its original multi-generational owner and has never been played. It has been preserved strictly as an untouched, climate-controlled showroom piece and remains in absolute flawless, pristine condition.
High-end retail showrooms routinely list fully rebuilt Steinway A models between $60,000 and $85,000. While many of those models feature entirely replaced modern components, this specific instrument possesses exceptional original "low mileage." Because it was completely free of the typical environmental, dryness, or climate damage common to 19th-century builds, the master restoration team was able to brilliantly preserve and refurbish its structurally superior original soundboard, original bridges, and original pinblock. The exceptional originality of the core acoustic assembly delivers a warm, soulful, and historic Steinway resonance that modern reproductions simply cannot replicate.

• Belly & Soundboard: Full structural restoration, preserving the immaculate original premium soundboard and bridges. Tuning pins are exceptionally stable.
