Steinway Appreciation

A Steinway piano is an incomparable creation - a unique achievement that sets the world standard for how a piano should look, play and sound. But a Steinway piano is also something more. It is a singularly inspired investment -- an instrument that combines the joy of musical perfection with the security and reassurance of financial appreciation. It is, quite simply, a treasured possession that grows in value over the course of time -- a rare and enduring creation which is handed down with pride from one generation to the next.

The Key to a Sound Portfolio

According to Forbes, over the past ten years, the retail value of a Steinway concert grand has appreciated nearly 200%.* An impressive record, to be sure - but one that tells only part of the story.

The fact is, the appreciation of Steinway pianos is even more impressive when you look past the previous ten years - and take an historical look at appreciation over the past few decades. The numbers are nothing less than remarkable: Today, if the owner of a vintage Steinway grand decided to gauge the value of his or her piano on the open market, it is likely that the piano would command a price 4.3 times higher than the original retail cost.** As the first chart shows, this figure is based on a representative sampling of Steinway grands of all ages - pianos which were created from before the turn of the century up through 1978.
