Steinway Model B Grand Piano - Fully Restored, Gloss Black | Piano Gallery, Idaho Falls

This 1961 Steinway & Sons Model B grand piano, built at the legendary Hamburg factory and fully restored by a family-run European workshop, is one of the finest restored grand pianos available at Piano Gallery in Idaho Falls. With its original soundboard, rebuilt action, and classic gloss ebony finish, this instrument is concert-ready and built to last another century.

Product Overview

The Hamburg Steinway carries a well-earned reputation among pianists and collectors: a slightly brighter, more transparent tone than its New York counterpart, with exceptional clarity across all registers. This 1961 Model B was built during one of Hamburg's most celebrated production eras and has been returned to full performance condition through a 2025 restoration by the same family-run European workshop known for meticulous, unhurried craftsmanship. The original soundboard has been retained, preserving the acoustic foundation Steinway's Hamburg craftsmen built into this piano over sixty years ago.

The action, strings, hammers, dampers, tuning pins, and pin block have all been rebuilt or replaced to precise specifications. Every stage of the restoration was completed fully before the next began - the natural result of a workshop that prioritizes doing the work correctly over doing it quickly.

At 6'10¾", the Model B occupies the upper tier of the Steinway grand lineup. It delivers the projection and dynamic range needed for serious home recitals, teaching studios, and small performance venues, while remaining manageable in a well-proportioned music room. The scale design produces a brilliant, singing treble, a full and balanced midrange, and a bass with authority and definition.

Key Features

Hamburg Steinway Provenance Built in 1961 at Steinway's Hamburg factory, this Model B reflects the distinct character of the European production line - known for a brighter, more transparent tone and exceptional clarity across all registers. Hamburg and New York Steinways share the same fundamental design, but pianists and collectors have long recognized the differences, and this instrument represents Hamburg at its best.

Original Soundboard The original soundboard has been preserved, maintaining the tonal foundation Steinway's Hamburg craftsmen built into this piano in 1961. Retaining the soundboard is a hallmark of a quality restoration and ensures the instrument's acoustic character remains authentic to its origin.

European Restoration Restored in 2025 by the same family-run European workshop responsible for the finest instruments in Piano Gallery's collection, this Model B received careful, traditional craftsmanship at every stage. The result is an instrument that performs with the immediacy of a new piano while carrying the depth of a 64-year-old original.

Complete Mechanical Rebuild The action, strings, hammers, dampers, tuning pins, and pin block have all been rebuilt or replaced to precise specifications, delivering responsive touch, even dynamic range, and the sensitivity a serious pianist expects from a performance-ready Steinway.

Gloss Ebony Finish The high-gloss ebony finish gives this Model B the commanding presence the instrument deserves. Clean, formal, and timeless, it is the finish most associated with the concert stage - and on a piano of this caliber, entirely appropriate.

Ideal Scale for Serious Performance At 6'10¾", the Model B offers a level of projection and tonal development well beyond smaller grands, making it a natural choice for dedicated home recital spaces, teaching studios, and small concert venues where a full 9' concert grand would be impractical.
