Description | Steinway Model A188 Parlor Grand in mint condition Serial number 82029 Tricentennial Limited Edition Grand Piano In 2000, for the first time in Steinway & Sons’ history, a Model A-188 grand piano was released on the American market, previously available only in Hamburg, and for the first time, the Tricentennial was a joint production of the Steinway factories in Hamburg and New York. This was intended on the one hand to demonstrate global awareness and on the other to bring in the know-how of both factories. According to the occasion 300 wings were produced. In the design of this wing, the challenge was to to reflect Steinway & Sons’ 147 years of tradition and craftsmanship while honoring the piano as a musical instrument. As a renowned designer, pianist and passionate Steinway fan, Dakota Jackson provided the best conditions for the creation of this special instrument. “For me,” says Jackson, “Steinway and grand pianos are synonymous. I wouldn’t have designed a grand piano for any other manufacturer. “Dakota Jackson was aware of the not-so-easy task of incorporating innovative elements in his design, but without disregarding the classic design of Steinway grand pianos. “Any change, no matter how simple, to the classic form would require people to rethink,” he said. “After all, the piano has been a cult symbol for three centuries. Therefore, changes are only appropriate where they improve the design and value of the instrument.” Thus, he began his design very simply, reducing the wing to the essentials: a wooden cabinet with a cast iron plate provided – he started from the base of the instrument, so to speak. Jackson created a grand piano that was designed with the familiar, classic wing shape breaking a continuous line from the end of the wing towards is drawn to the ground. In the process, the wing feet merge with the housing. The grand piano is from 1892 and has been overhauled. New price now is 129,000.00 euros.
