Historical Prices of Steinway Pianos

"Build the best piano possible; sell it at the lowest price consistent with quality."

Henry Englehard Steinway, 1853

Steinway & Sons continues to adhere to these straighforward principles today.

This commitment to quality produces the legendary financial appreciation of the Steinway piano.

Because every Steinway is built to last a lifetime, each price increase will in turn bring up the value of Steinway pianos already in existence.  The follwoing is a historical listing of prices.

Each price reflects a Steinway & Sons in the standard Ebony Satin Finish.
