Steingraeber E-272 Concert Grand (8’11”) – New, Used (C&A)

Description

The E-272 is based on its predecessor, the 1895 model. Many pianists praise it as being one of the most distinctive and outstanding instruments on the market today.

Unique features include its sound-reflecting inner casing, star-shaped/half-timbered braces, and the “unbelievably enjoyable” action (Cyprien Katsaris, pianist). Steingraeber is the only manufacturer to have reduced the surface of the treble soundboard and to have restored its ‘classical relationship’ to short treble strings. Thus, Steingraeber strings have 27% less wood weight to set in motion. Even when softer intonation is called for, the player is rewarded with an immediate, singing resonance.

FEATURES:

• sound reflecting rim
• increased treble sustain
  • correct tweeter dimensioning of the treble board
  • multi-overtone-principle of the backstrings in the treble
  • capo d’astro bars with strengthening bridges
  • treble horn for extra tension in the belly rail
• frame design without hindering cross-braces for techniques for Contemporary music
• perfect touch
  • fast-responding keys (20% more upweight)
  • reliable key tops without aquaplaning
  • 52-48 g (black keys 1 g lighter!)
