An amazing instrument, a very personal connection.

Built in 1983 or so, purchased used around 1992. An amazing instrument, I auditioned many Steinways before purchasing this one, I even preferred it to a Model D that belonged to the local symphony orchestra, that had just been serviced at the local Steinway Hall.
