This early 20th-century Steinway & Sons Model XR grand piano features a light wood finish that was recently refinished by the previous owner, giving the instrument a clean, elegant appearance while preserving its classic character. The piano has been well cared for throughout its life, reflecting thoughtful ownership and careful maintenance.
Originally equipped with an older player system, that system has been professionally removed, returning the piano to a traditional acoustic configuration and improving long-term serviceability and reliability. Built during Steinway’s golden-era manufacturing period, the XR model is a rare and lesser-known design, produced in limited numbers and appreciated today for its historical significance and handcrafted construction.
This piano offers the warm, lyrical tone associated with early New York Steinway grands, with a singing treble, rich midrange, and a rounded bass that favors musical depth over modern brightness. The light wood finish makes it especially appealing as both a refined musical instrument and an elegant statement piece for a home, studio, or collection.
