Frequently Asked Questions
It's noticeably warmer and mellower; the older spruce soundboard has 'opened up' over time, producing a richer, more complex tone.
Like any acoustic piano, it will need regular tuning (at least twice a year) and occasional regulation to maintain optimal performance.
The Steinway specialist’s refurbishment should address any immediate issues, but older instruments can require more frequent inspections and repairs as time goes on.
