The Steinway & Sons Model V-125 is a testament to the legacy and craftsmanship of one of the world's most prestigious piano manufacturers. Manufactured in 1941, this used acoustic upright piano embodies the excellence associated with the Steinway & Sons brand, a hallmark of German engineering and musical artistry.
At 125 cm in height, with a width of 152 cm and a depth of 68 cm, the Model V-125 is designed to offer a powerful and rich sound typical of larger grand pianos, yet in a more compact form that suits a variety of spaces, from intimate practice rooms to larger living areas or concert settings. This model is equipped with 88 keys, the full range of a standard piano keyboard, allowing for a wide repertoire of music to be played, from classical to contemporary pieces.
The piano features 2 pedals, which is somewhat less common compared to the three pedals found on many modern pianos. However, these pedals still provide the essential dynamics of softening the sound and sustaining notes, which are crucial for expressive performance.
Finished in black with a matte gloss level, the Model V-125 offers a timeless elegance that is both sophisticated and understated. The matte finish provides a subtle aesthetic that can blend seamlessly into any decor, contrasting the more common high gloss finishes and making it a unique piece. The absence of natural piano key tops indicates the use of high-quality synthetic materials for the keys, ensuring durability and a consistent touch response over time.
Described as having a "beautiful warm sound," this piano is characteristic of Steinway & Sons' commitment to producing instruments with exceptional tonal quality. The warm sound profile is especially valued by pianists for its depth and richness, capable of conveying a wide range of emotions and nuances in music.
As a German premium brand, Steinway & Sons is renowned for its meticulous craftsmanship, innovation, and the enduring value of its instruments. The Model V-125 from 1941 is not just a musical instrument but a piece of history, representing a period of intense creativity and excellence in piano manufacturing. For musicians, collectors, or anyone with an appreciation for fine pianos, the Steinway & Sons Model V-125 offers an opportunity to experience the legacy of a brand that has set the standard in piano quality and performance for over a century.
