In 2009 Steingraeber introduced as a direct descendant of the 1873 Steingraeber Liszt Grand Piano Model 205. It was slightly redesigned to create more power. As you can see from the list below, this particular model has a LOT of fans among serious venues, conductors, teachers and technicians. The reason is it's unparalleled sound and power.
In redesigning the 205, Steingraeber was able to keep the "chamber music" appeal that the 205 set as a standard for over 140 years and was played by Liszt, Straub, Barenboim and many other famous artists and composers.
