Steinway & Sons Model A: A Grand Expression of Balance
Measuring 6’2″, the Steinway & Sons Model A offers a powerful, richly resonant voice in a form that feels at home in private residences, upscale condominiums, and mid-sized performance spaces. Long admired for its bold tonal presence and architectural elegance, this piano strikes a rare balance—substantial enough to satisfy serious performers, yet refined enough for sophisticated interiors.
Known as the Recital Grand, the Model A bridges the space between Steinway’s home-sized instruments and its largest concert grands. It continues to be a top choice for discerning pianists, designers, and music lovers who seek uncompromising quality in a piano that complements both sound and space.
Over the years, more versions of the Model A have been built than any other Steinway grand, each contributing to its legacy and improving the piano along the way. Today’s Model A reflects all that history—an instrument shaped by generations of innovation, perfected through time and experience.
Handcrafted in Steinway’s New York factory, the Model A incorporates the company’s most celebrated innovations: the Diaphragmatic Soundboard, patented for its exceptional resonance and tonal color; the Accelerated Action, engineered for speed, precision, and nuance; and the Hexagrip Pinblock, which ensures long-term tuning stability and structural integrity.
The result is a piano with concert-level sound—warm, articulate, and commanding—perfect for everything from classical repertoire to jazz improvisation to contemporary works. Its broad dynamic range and tonal depth make it a joy for both the performer and the listener.

And beyond its performance, the Model A is a refined design statement. Whether placed in a beachside estate, contemporary coastal residence, or modern high-rise, its sculpted silhouette and luxurious finish allow it to integrate gracefully into a wide range of interiors. It’s the piano of choice for those who want to pair serious musicianship with tasteful surroundings.
Like all Steinways, the Model A is built to last for generations. It’s not only an instrument of today, but an heirloom for tomorrow—a symbol of artistry, tradition, and the joy of music-making that grows more meaningful with every passing year. The Piano Man himself, Billy Joel, said, “A Steinway is an investment. It’s going to be something that’s passed down from generation to generation. It’s something that lasts.”
