Steingraeber Salonflügel A-170

A$0.00

Steingraeber’s smallest grand sounds much bigger than it is and collected many awards to show for it.

Thanks to its construction with a “true” bass bridge, this piano is the only small grand piano which transmits direct vibrations to the soundboard without the conventional use of a suspension (“apron”). In this regard, the A 170 works like a large concert grand.

The A 170’s design can be traced back to 1905.
