Steinway & Sons: Your valuable investment

A melodious investment: Steinway & Sons at Pianohaus Marcus Hübner in Trier

A grand piano or upright piano, especially a Steinway & Sons, is not only considered a stable investment, but also a matter close to the hearts of many music lovers – and the best time to make this investment is always now. The reason for this lies in the regular price adjustments for new Steinways, which also cause the market value of used models to rise continuously. A Steinway grand piano therefore represents an investment that pays off. The company’s philosophy, “To build the best piano possible,” shapes every single instrument, which impresses with its masterful craftsmanship and unmistakable sound. Since 1853, Steinway has been valued worldwide for its perfection and innovative strength, which continues to increase the value of the brand to this day.

With the purchase of a new Boston or Essex instrument, both brands of the “Family of Steinway-Designed Pianos,” the “Steinway Promise” applies: within 10 years, it is possible to upgrade to a Steinway piano without financial loss.

The value of such an instrument depends on the brand, model, age, and condition. Regular maintenance preserves the sound volume and playing quality for decades, which increases not only the emotional value but also the financial value. An overview of price trends shows that a 50-year-old Steinway can now fetch nine times its original purchase price.

In addition, the “Steinway Promise” offers buyers of a new Boston or Essex piano—both brands of the “Family of Steinway-Designed Pianos”—the opportunity to upgrade to a Steinway within 10 years without financial loss.
