[pianotech] Steinway models

[tom]

Julia,

 Larry Fines book has a few pages on identifying Steinway models. Gives the
length, # of bass notes ,shape of bass bridges etc.  The B from 1872-1884 is
listed at 6'8" but yours doesn't seem to fit. 

 Easy solution is to call Steinway in N.Y.  Ask for Margaret  in customer
service and give her the serial # .If you get voice mail don't leave a
message --- call back a little later until you get her in person.

She will tell you the model, finish and dates of manufacture and where
shipped.

1-800-366-1853

Greetings, 

 

        How does one tell the model of an older Steinway if there is no
letter on the plate? The serial # goes back to 1893 date of manufacture and
there is no letter. How do you tell a model O from a B? Piano measures about
6'-6" from rim to front edge. 

 

Thank You
