Steinway D

1894 Steinway Model D Concert Grand

Serial No. 81493

Not Merely Restored. Thoughtfully ReEngineered.

Originally built in 1894, this Steinway Model D has undergone a complete, groundup restoration and modernization by Roger’s Piano, guided by a singular objective: to realize the full musical potential of a great historic instrument using the best materials and engineering available today.

The piano features a new Canadian White Spruce Bolduc soundboard, paired with comprehensive refinement of every mechanical and acoustic system. From the solid brass, doublewheeled 4inch casters to the meticulously regulated action and carefully voiced tonal palette, every element has been executed to contemporary concertlevel standards—without erasing the character that defines a great Steinway.

Immediate, Tangible Innovation

Strategic use of custom carbonfiber components has allowed for the removal of over 12 pounds of unnecessary lead from the keyboard—not as an abstract engineering exercise, but with a clear musical goal in mind.

The effect is unmistakable:

 Faster repetition  Greater dynamic control  A more responsive, connected action that rewards nuance and precision This is not a subtle change revealed over time. It is apparent from the first minutes at the instrument.

A Compelling Alternative to New

With new Steinway Model Ds now exceeding $250,000 before tax and delivery, this instrument represents a rare opportunity to own a historically significant Steinway that benefits from modern materials, contemporary action philosophy, and uncompromising workmanship—without the pricing premium attached to current factory production.

Rather than paying for novelty, the value here lies in musical performance, touch, and tonal capacity—attributes that matter most to serious players.

For Players Who Listen Closely

This is a singular instrument for those who appreciate heritage, embrace innovation where it serves music, and demand clarity, responsiveness, and depth from a concert grand.
