STEINWAY MASTERPIECE 8X8 – The upright piano

After the success of our innovative dolce pedal, Steinway & Sons are happy to introduce another highlight to lovers of the upright piano seeking out tasteful design, the finest craftsmanship, and the inimitable Steinway sound: the Limited Edition MASTERPIECE 8X8.

The MASTERPIECE 8X8 is eight elegant veneers limited to eight upright pianos each. The sixty-four upright pianos are handmade in the Steinway Factory and are notable for their rarity and uniqueness. Whether radiant Figured Sycamore, magical Oak, extravagant Eucalyptus, exotic Figured Macore, charismatic Olive, expressive Santos Rosewood, powerful Macassar Ebony or noble American Walnut — enthusiasts of design and quality are sure to find their favourite upright in such distinguished company.

Each upright piano is not only characterized by the fine veneers but also by harmonious colour down to the last detail. The iron plate and fittings are finished in silver or rose-gold colour. A pearl lovingly set by hand into the keyboard and the numbered medallion further codifies the beauty and uniqueness of each upright. Included with every Steinway Masterpiece 8X8 upright piano is a roller-ball pen handcrafted by Hamburg–based designer Jan Zander using the original veneers of the respectiveinstruments.

THE STEINWAY MASTERPIECE 8X8 UPRIGHT PIANO — a tribute to the natural beauty of the the Steinway upright piano K-132, established nearly 120 years ago, and offering a special musical joy today thanks to the innovative dolce pedal.
