This very nice Steinway M has a perfect sound board. The plastic key tops are in very good condition and can be polished out to look good. This piano has been restrung with number three tuning pins, but we do not believe that the sound board was ever touched or refinished. The action is completely original except for the key tops. The veneer is solid, with one 5″ circle of loose veneer on top of the lid. This is an excellent piano for rebuilding.

Steinway & Sons records indicate that this piano was manufactured June 30, 1903. It is a sketch design piano listed as a carved fancy Renaissance Design model A-2. This piano was a special order from the Steinway factory by the Black family that later founded Chock full O’ Nuts Coffee Company in 1926. This piano was also owned by the singer Kenny Rogers. The case has egg and dart molding, foliate scalloped, scrolled, rosette corners, acanthus-carved cabriolet legs ending in scrolled toes, with a conforming bench. This is the only piano ever built like this. This piano has been completely rebuilt with a new sound board, a new pin block, new Renner damper back action, new Renner wippens, new shanks, flanges and hammers, and much more. We have restored the cabinet and bench as perfectly and closely to the original condition and color as possible. This is certainly one of the most stunning piano ever restored.
