Another Steinway In My Life!

So I had the awesome luck of picking out a grand piano for a friend who will be opening a new bar in the East Village. With the help of my piano doctor, the Baron von Penta, I found a beautiful instrument. I settled on a Steinway L from the late 70s.

It has had all of the teflon removed. A new pinblock has been put in, along with a rebuilt action and brand new Steinway hammers, shanks, and flanges. The hammers and action prep work was done by the Baron himself, who also works on my personal piano. As always, his work is superb.

This piano also looks brand new with a nice hand rubbed black satin finish, a beautiful American tradition. I'm looking forward to playing this thing on a regular basis...
