Where it sits
The same price range holds 4 other grand pianos – too few to rank by thirds. The Steinway & Sons M-170 from the same brand sits around €47,500 below it.
Strengths & limits
In its favour
- Concert sound in a living-room format
- The used-market classic: rebuilt examples from ~€50,000
- Very good value retention
Against it
- Sold only via authorised dealers – prices are list-price orientation
- “Rebuilt” is not a protected term – bring an appraiser to the viewing
