boston grand pianos
Designed by STEINWAY & SONS, employing the unique patents and expertise that have made the STEINWAY synonymous with musical excellence, the BOSTON line of grands represent a singular achievement: a superior playing experience at a price level never before thought possible.
The best-in-class Boston grand just got even better. Boston’s new Performance Edition II now features a luxurious Pomelle Sapele veneer on the inside rim (on Ebony finish grands) and a stunning rose-gold colored plate. We’ve also upgraded to black felts for the plate, under the fallboard, and around the pedals. A rescaled bass and treble wire lower string tension provides increased sustain, better tone clarity, and a deeper, clearer bass.
The PE II also includes the major enhancements previously introduced with the original Performance Edition in 2009, including a maple inner rim (found only in the finest pianos) and the patented Octagrip™ pinblock. In combination, these enhancements further elevate the Performance Edition II to a class by itself in the mid-price range.
