Beautiful Louis XVI Style Steinway Duo-Art Player Grand Piano
This is a lovely Steinway & Sons Duo-Art reproducing player piano in the Louis XVI “art-case” style. The early 20thCentury saw a huge revival in historic period architectural and interior design style. Better piano manufacturers like Steinway offered a limited number of custom “art-case” pianos to compliment this revival in historic period décor. The Louis XVI style was one of the more popular styles of the period, and it remains quite popular today.
This piano is made of beautifully figured-grain walnut wood with elegant satinwood inlaid designs. The piano is equipped with the Aeolian “Duo-Art” reproducing player system, a pneumatically operated player system that allows the piano to play by itself with real expression like a live person. This piano would have been one of the most expensive instruments money could buy in 1929!
This piano is being restored to like new condition, inside and out. This is a rare opportunity to own an amazing piece of American musical history.
