Steinway Grand Piano - Mode M - 1988 - Ebony

A Beautifully Preserved Steinway for the Home

Some pre-owned pianos immediately reveal how they have been cared for over the years.

Our 1988 Steinway & Sons Model M is one of those instruments.

Finished in classic ebony and presenting in excellent overall condition, this Model M appears to have experienced relatively light use during its lifetime. The result is a beautifully preserved Steinway grand with the elegance, craftsmanship, and presence that have made the Steinway name recognized by generations of pianists.

The Steinway Model M

At approximately 5'7", the Steinway Model M occupies an important place in the Steinway grand piano family.

Its size makes it particularly appealing for homes, teaching studios, and other spaces where a full grand-piano experience is desired without the footprint of a larger performance instrument.

For many owners, that balance is precisely the attraction of the Model M: a substantial Steinway grand in dimensions that remain practical for residential living.

A 1988 Piano in Excellent Condition

Age alone tells very little about the condition of a fine piano.

How an instrument has been played, maintained, stored, and cared for throughout its life can be considerably more important than the date appearing on the plate.

That is what makes this particular 1988 Model M noteworthy.

The piano has seen relatively limited use and remains in excellent overall condition. Its classic ebony finish gives it a timeless appearance, while its preservation makes this an especially interesting instrument for someone considering a pre-owned Steinway.

At Washington Pianos, we believe those individual details matter. Two pianos of the same model and year can have very different histories, conditions, and musical personalities.

Why Consider a Certified Pre-Owned Steinway?

A carefully selected pre-owned Steinway can provide an attractive ownership path for someone who appreciates the heritage and craftsmanship of the brand while considering alternatives to purchasing a new instrument.

Our approach is not simply to place a piano on the showroom floor because of the name on its fallboard.

We evaluate each instrument individually, considering its condition, history, musical qualities, and what may be required to prepare it for its next owner.

That philosophy is at the heart of our Certified Pre-Owned program.

Experience the Model M

A fine piano ultimately needs to be experienced in person.

Tone, touch, responsiveness, condition, and the connection a pianist feels with an instrument cannot be fully communicated through photographs or specifications alone.

We invite you to visit Washington Pianos and experience this 1988 Steinway & Sons Model M for yourself.

Whether you are searching specifically for a Steinway or simply beginning to explore fine grand pianos, we are happy to help you compare instruments thoughtfully and find the piano that feels right for your home and your musical journey.
