The search is on.

Started looking for a pre 80's (preferably 40's - 60's) Steinway & Sons Baby Grand piano.

I figured I'd post here, as perhaps one of you may have a grandparent/parent looking to get rid of one.

Would prefer something all original, that may need some restoration work, but am willing to look at anything you folks may know of.

 

Feel free to send me a private message.

Thanks!

This isn't going to help you, but my mother was a concert pianist and later a piano teacher and owned one which was 1940s or earlier. The piano is still in the family but I seriously doubt it's for sale, although if I should learn otherwise, I'll let you know.

Check Ebay

Marty,

 

That sounds like something I'd be potentially interested in.  I'm in no rush to purchase, looking for the right one. 

 

If by chance they would like to sell it, please contact me.

Robert, I found out officially what I was almost positive of, that it's not for sale. Just for the record, it's a parlor grand, not a baby grand and is a 1933 model.

I appreciate you looking into it and asking.  

A good friend of the family was in the piano restoration business for many years.   I have helped him move many Steinway baby grands over the years (don't ever become friends with a piano restoration guy  lol)   I even delivered two to Tennessee for him on two separate occasions.  Unfortunately his father (partner in business) passed away about ten years ago and about 5 or 6 years after that he gave up the business.  He had about 100 piano's in storage, probably a dozen or more Steinway baby grands, in un-restored condition, but he sold everything off a couple years ago.  NY to CA would be kind of a haul anyway  

that's a lot of pianos we had one i don't know what kind it was tho my aunt has it now..
