Thanks Anne. I should also have mentioned that the keys on this Steinway are all ivory, including the fronts.

Steinway pianos were at their zenith, technically, between roughly 1900 and 1910. I have an upright that was built in 1906, and it has only had to be tuned once in the ten years I've owned it, and has marvelous sound. Of course, I don't know anything about the specific piano that Rainer is offering, but if it is in decent shape, this would be a great instrument to own and play.

In the short run, in order to hold tuning well, it would need a process called “doping the block” that costs around $300. To restore it to its original condition would cost ~$4-6,000. To move it out of the house will require a rigging crane, so the move to your house would cost ~$1400. (Price from Mike Griffen, a great piano mover.) Any serious inquiries need to be received by March 15. Kind regards, Rainer Rainer Frost -- The LincolnTalk mailing list.
