WE RESTORE ALL GROTRIAN PIANOS. Prolific make of high quality pianos. Uprights 1900 to 1930 outstanding. Grotrian Steinweg was a major manufacturer of high quality pianos. Most Grotrian Steinweg pianos in the UK date from 1890 to 1930. All are well made, but often very worn and need extensive reconditioning. Grotrian uprights from about 1910 to about 1930 are outstanding. Modern Grotrians from about 1960 until they closed the factory in 2024 are fine pianos. Rating is for fully reconditioned pianos. Unreconditioned ones may carry a very low rating. We are interested in purchasing Grotrian Steinweg pianos, please see the following page (Updated 2026)
