Upright pianos Boston for sale

The process of creating and producing Essex and Boston pianos takes place in Asia, but is supervised by Steinway & Sons technicians and specialists. The technologies used in the production of instruments also come from the Steinway & Sons factories. This affects the construction of pianos that are distinguished by their width, deep sound, fully wooden mechanism, and duplex scale. The materials used in production are also supervised by the Steinway & Sons team. Therefore, choosing an Essex or Boston instrument seems to be a great solution for the pianist at every stage of learning.
 

In the line of Boston instruments we can choose from 4 upright piano models, and 5 grand piano models:

UP-118 46”
UP-120 47”
UP-126 49”
UP-132 52" professional instrument the size of a Steinway K piano model
GP-156 5’1”
GP-163 5’4”
GP-178 5’10" very similar in size to a Steinway O
GP-193 6’4”
GP-215 7’ the size is between a Steinway A and B

As you can see, there is a large cross-section of instruments available, starting with medium sized upright pianos, through to higher upright pianos with a deep sound. Boston offers both small and larger pianos, but we do not have a typical concert option here. There are also instruments from the exclusive Performance Edition line introduced in 2009 (model names end with the letters PE or PEII).

We can see that Steinway & Sons, with the introduction of the Boston and Essex brands, has prepared a way for amateur and novice pianists to gradually own an instrument from the Essex lineup, then Boston, and ultimately Steinway & Sons. These are pianos that vary in price - starting with Essex as the cheapest instruments, then Boston in the middle price class, and finally Steinway & Sons, the most expensive.

If you are interested in how much Essex and Boston pianos cost, you have come to the right place. You can find this information in the Klaviano search engine. These will not be the prices suggested by the manufacturers, but the real amounts for which you can buy these instruments. Although these are relatively recent brands, you should take into account the condition of the instruments - older and used instruments will be cheaper than brand new ones. However, it is worth considering buying them, as they will be pianos that are several years old (maximum 25 years old in the case of the Boston brand). In conclusion, we can give short answers to key questions:

Where are Essex and Boston pianos produced?

In Asia, China (Essex) and Japan and Indonesia (Boston) respectively.

What is the quality of Essex and Boston pianos, are they good instruments?

These are very good instruments, whose production at each stage is controlled by Steinway & Sons.

How old is my Essex or Boston piano?

The oldest possible Boston instrument dates back to 1991 and the Essex to 2001.
Your instrument must have a serial number - the manufacturer can provide information about the year in which the piano was produced.

Is it better to buy an Essex or a Boston piano?

In this case, the decision is very individual and largely related to the price of the instrument. According to the manufacturer’s assumptions and suggestions, the Boston line is more prestigious than Essex instruments, and therefore also more expensive. This does not change the fact that the quality and technology of the upright pianos and Essex grand pianos is still supervised by the Steinway & Sons team, taking care of every detail of production.
