Highly respected maker of top quality new pianos. Although Steingraeber have made over 10,000 pianos, few of these can be found in the UK. Most date from about the year 2000. They have a serious rich tone and very finely adjusted touch; highly recommended. Steingraeber have also experimented with the “Phoenix†system which allows less pressure on the soundboard, therefore letting it vibrate more freely. If you are considering one of these they have a unique subtle tone but bear in mind that there are a great number of unusual overtones in the treble due to the unique bridge system. However we find the tone quite special and are enthusiastic about the Phoenix system.
Steingraeber also sometimes use mammoth ivory for their keyboards in the Phoenix pianos.
