The Model S was designed to fill a need for a less expensive smaller grand than the Model M during the depression of the 1930s.  It took six years to design. The reason was that Steinway would not market a piano based only on size–it had to have the “Steinway sound”. The result was the invention of the revolutionary Diaphragmatic Soundboard which gradually tapered the vibrant spruce in all directions thereby increasing the acoustic resonance, depth, and power of the soundboard relative to its limited size. For the pianist who has the least amount of floor space with which to work, yet insists on the best grand piano sound possible within those space restrictions.

The Steinway & Sons Model S is a 5′ 1” (155 cm) “baby grand” piano designed in the 1930s for smaller spaces without compromising the brand’s signature sound. Introduced to offer a more compact, affordable alternative to the Model M, it features the Diaphragmatic soundboard for enhanced resonance.

Key details about the Steinway Model S:
  • Dimensions & Design: At 5 feet 1 inch (155 cm) long and 57¾ inches wide, it is the smallest grand piano manufactured by Steinway.
  • Soundboard Technology: The model features a tapered, Diaphragmatic soundboard designed to provide a rich, powerful sound despite its small size.
  • Manufacturing: It is built with high-quality materials including a solid spruce soundboard, hard rock maple pinblock, and Renner hammers.
  • Market Position: Often referred to as a “City Grand” or baby grand, it is marketed for homes and apartments where space is limited, ensuring it fits into most decors.
  • Legacy & Value: As a genuine Steinway, it is considered an investment-grade, durable instrument built to be passed down through generations.
The Model S provides the full Steinway experience, including the renowned touch and tone, in a more intimate, space-efficient package.
