Steinway Model L Grand Piano
Serial no. 428330
Circa 1972
The case with a black lacquer finish.
30in (76cm) h. 5 ft. 10 1/2in (179cm) l. 58 in (148cm) w.
Together with a black tufted upholstered bench.
Assessment of Steinway L 428330 made in 1972
The piano is all original with the Steinway patented Teflon flange bushings
throughout. A few of the hammer flanges are very mildly sluggish.
The piano has the original plastic key tops.
There is very little wear on the hammers - the piano has had a minimum of usage.
The action would benefit from a touchup of the hammer let off and the key after
touch; this is a quick adjustment that is a customary periodic service.
The bridges and sound board in excellent condition.
The tone is a bit uneven in the different sections and would benefit from a
hammer voicing with the next tuning.
Condition:The finish is in very good condition with many light surface scratches that can be
rubbed out without any finish repairs.
Video of scales being played available upon request
