A Steinway and Sons Model B Grand Piano

Circa 1988

serial no. 505551.
Height 36 1/2 x length of case 82 inches.

We do not have any provenance documentation for this lot. The case and mechanics seem to be in overall good and attractive condition with minor scattered marks, dents and surface scratches to the case from previous moving and handling. The workings have not been examined by a piano technician, but each key functions properly and appears to be mostly in tune and the soundboard does not have visible damage. Additional images available upon request.

The piano legs do not have castors, but there is a dolly included with the lot.

*Please note the following amendment to the original condition report: The keys have been replaced, with several having a gap between the top edge of the white keys and bottom edge of the black keys. Images attached for reference.

The physical condition of lots in our auctions can vary due to age, normal wear and tear, previous damage, and restoration/repair.
