Steingraeber & Söhne

Sordino was a common feature of grand pianos manufactured in the first third of the 19th century by Graf in Vienna and Erard in Paris.

Today Steingraeber is able to offer this feature once again in the form of a pedal, thanks to the inspiration of pianist Jura Margulis.

A thin strip of felt slides horizontally between the hammer and the string allowing modification of tone as well as articulation of refined dynamics such as, for example, the "fp" found in Franz Schubert's notation.

The Steingraeber Mozart Rail enables variable adjustment to the depth of play.

Within the space of 250 years the key dip on grand pianos doubled from less than 5mm to more than 10mm!

This Steingraeber invention allows the playing depth to be varied between 8.0mm and 10.3mm as desired, making authentic interpretations of Viennese classical through to romantic repertoires much easier. Why not give it a try.

A Steingraeber Transducer Grand Piano is much more than just a self-playing piano. It enables you to compose and make music on up to three levels simultaneously: Live acoustic PLUS live electronic PLUS record function.

Electronic sound is played back without mechanically induced signal loss by means of transducers which are placed directly on the piano's soundboard.

With a simple switch of the hammer stop changing sound worlds couldn't be easier, transporting you from the richness of a fully acoustic Steingraeber piano to electronic sounds of any kind, and even to pianos in all pitches and temperaments!
