Do you know about Steinmeyer pianos?

Question/ Hi. I could not see a Steinmeyer on your list can you also provide any more
information on this type of piano - I have one that has three in-laid panels
is an upright and has a date on that says 1890 although I am not convinced
it is that old!
Would be grateful if you could provide any further information

Thanks
Bob Hogben

Answer/ Hi Bob

Modern Steinmeyer pianos are made in China and sold by The Piano Warehouse.

They are pretty awful pianos - thin, bright sound - very poor quality materials
and will not last anywhere near as long as the older Steinmeyer pianos.

From what you have described, it sounds pretty much like you have an old
Steinmeyer. On the one hand that is good, because they WERE made very well,
but on the other hand, old pianos are usually beyond repair, or repairing
them would not be cost effective.

I don't think it could be as old as 1890. The date you see on the piano probably
refers to when the Steinmeyer Piano Company started piano production.

The best way to get a correct valuation is to ask your local piano tuner to
come and take a look. You can find a list of UK piano tuners here:

You may also want to read an article I wrote about valuing your piano and
