Elegance in Design, Brilliance in Tone

Steinway & Sons’ Essex baby grand in White Polish is a stunning marriage of visual elegance and musical integrity. This compact grand stands barely over 5 feet long, making it ideal for homes, studios, and intimate performance spaces. But don’t let its modest footprint fool you—this is a serious instrument with a bold, expressive voice.

The crisp white high-polish finish gives the Essex baby grand a fresh, contemporary feel that effortlessly elevates any room. It’s a true statement piece—both graceful and eye-catching—while retaining the timeless proportions and subtle detailing of a traditional grand piano. Whether placed in a modern loft or a classic parlor, this piano draws the eye and invites interaction.

Beneath its sleek exterior lies the design expertise of Susan Kenagy, Steinway’s Director of Design, who describes Essex pianos as being infused with “the Steinway genome.” This philosophy means that the Essex baby grand incorporates the essential design elements, craftsmanship standards, and musical values that define the Steinway legacy—from scale design and action geometry to structural enhancements and tonal clarity.

The wide-tail design allows for longer bass strings and a larger soundboard than typically found in pianos of this size. The result is a warm, full-bodied tone with impressive sustain and dynamic range. Its all-wood action, crafted to Steinway’s specifications, offers a smooth, responsive touch that supports expressive playing and refined control.

Additional highlights include a tapered solid spruce soundboard, staggered backposts for long-term stability, and premium brass hardware that perfectly complements the pristine white finish. These features ensure that this piano is as durable and well-built as it is beautiful.

As with all Essex models, Steinway & Sons backs the EGP-155 with the Steinway Promise—offering full trade-in value toward a new Steinway grand within ten years, making it a sound investment as well as a musical one.

For those seeking a piano that offers both visual sophistication and true musical heritage, Steinway & Sons’ Essex baby grand in White Polish is an exceptional choice—refined, expressive, and undeniably elegant.
