The new Steingraeber & Söhne D-232, the "little" brother of the E-272 concert grand piano, was introduced in 2008 at music exhibitions in California, Frankfurt and Paris. At first glance, the "family" resemblance to the E-272 grand piano is immediately recognizable in the shape of the outer rim. Both the D and E models include the same excellent acoustic properties, such as the symmetrically shaped rim with a good reflection zone at the rear, unique design that makes optimal use of the soundboard.
