Taking tradition into the future with Steinway

Equating music with movement, Count Goertz set about creating a special design that would reflect this idea. He chose to retain the classic Steinway black finish, focusing instead on endowing various components with the sleek lines for which he is renowned. The result was an elegant and timeless design with a hint of sensuality. Goertz accentuated the finish, creating a dynamic interplay between contrasting satin and highly polished surfaces. In doing so, he seemed to bring the piano to life. This grand piano Model A (188cm) is remarkably elegant and beautiful. Rather than taking designs to extremes, Count Goertz focused on the essentials and created an instrument notable for its simplicity, something he achieved by eliminating everything that is superfluous. The “125th Anniversary Limited Edition Grand Piano designed by Goertz” is a unique grand piano full of glamour and aesthetics.

This timeless instrument bridges the gap between past and future. As such, this inspirational Steinway, with its distinctive sound and exceptional playability, will also become a grand piano of enduring value and historical importance to generations of music lovers.
