Steinway & Sons Model M Medium Grand Piano

A Timeless Investment in Sound and Craftsmanship

The new Steinway & Sons Model M in Ebony DiamondGloss™ is a striking embodiment of Steinway’s legacy of innovation, craftsmanship, and American pride. At 5′7″ in length, it delivers the expressive power and tonal depth of a world-class piano in a versatile size—perfect for refined homes, teaching studios, and intimate performance spaces. Proudly built in Astoria, New York, the Model M reflects Steinway’s mastery of piano making—a mastery that helped shape the modern grand piano as we know it today.

The Ebony DiamondGloss™ finish gives the Model M a presence that is as commanding as it is elegant. Its luminous, mirror-like surface enhances the instrument’s timeless silhouette and speaks to the meticulous craftsmanship behind every Steinway. It’s a finish designed not only to dazzle but to endure, preserving the piano’s beauty for generations.

At the keyboard, the Model M responds with an immediacy and control that give pianists a profound sense of connection. The action is smooth, balanced, and sensitive to the finest nuances of touch. Whether playing with force or delicacy, the pianist is rewarded with tonal clarity and dynamic flexibility. As Steinway Artist Lang Lang so eloquently puts it, “When I play a Steinway, I know I’m drawing on over 170 years of mastery. The sound is not just beautiful—it’s inspiring.”

That sound is unmistakably Steinway—warm, rich, and deeply expressive across the entire register. From the shimmering treble to the resonant bass, the Model M sings with a complex, colorful voice. This tonal character is made possible by Steinway’s patented diaphragmatic soundboard, Hexagrip™ pinblock, and continuous bent rim—all time-tested innovations that continue to define the industry’s highest standards. As Billy Joel once said, “I have a deep connection to the Steinway—it sings the way I sing.”

Every part of the Model M is handcrafted by American artisans using Steinway’s legendary techniques—refined over generations and protected through constant innovation. Its build quality, musical performance, and structural durability make it not just a joy to play but a remarkable investment. Steinways are known to hold their value and often increase in worth over time, especially when maintained with care. In the words of Diana Krall, “Steinways don’t just last a lifetime—they last lifetimes.”

In addition to the classic Ebony DiamondGloss™, the Model M is also available in Crown Jewel exotic woods, a range of Colours custom finishes, and select limited edition models—each offering a unique expression of the Steinway ideal.

The Steinway Model M is more than a musical instrument—it is the living result of a company that invented the standard and has never stopped raising it.
