Rebuilt Steinway Grand Pianos - Worth the Money? [1928/2011 Steinway Model L Demo & Discussion]

❗️🎹 Family Piano's Max demos a 1928 Steinway Model L piano that was rebuilt in 2011 and talks about the rebuilding process.

From 1923 to 2005, the Steinway Model L reigned supreme as Steinway's most popular "in-home" professional grand piano - at 5'10" its size perfectly compromises excellent balance, tone and strength, and compactness.

This Satin Mahogany Steinway Model L grand was originally built in 1928 at Steinway's New York City factory - it was extensively rebuilt in 2011 receiving a complete action replacement with all-new high-quality German Renner action parts and hammers, professional soundboard repair/treatment, full restringing with new tuning pins and pin block, new keytops, refinishing of plate and exterior cabinet refinishing, new key bushings and new damper felts. In addition, we have gone through our standard 30+ point refurbishment checklist with roughly 20+ hours of additional skilled piano technician labor to refine the action further for maximum responsivity and musical performance!
