Inquire →This Steinway & Sons Model B has been rebuilt with the patience reserved for instruments destined for serious rooms. The plate, belly, and action have been brought into concert alignment, so that the familiar six-foot-eleven scale speaks with warmth in the tenor and a silken, unforced brilliance in the treble.
View Details →A Bösendorfer of this pedigree is less an object than a lineage. Restored in the Riverton atelier, this 214 retains the characteristic Viennese bloom — a singing middle register and a bass that seems to arrive from a greater depth than the case should allow.
View Details →The Model M is the parlor grand in its most eloquent form — large enough to carry a full harmonic world, intimate enough for a well-proportioned living room. This example has been restored from the rim inward, with a new belly and a regulation that invites rather than resists the hand.
View Details →Few houses speak with the architectural clarity of C. Bechstein. This concert grand has been restored so that its original intelligence — precise, luminous, never brittle — is once again fully present.

“Matt restored our family Steinway with a reverence I had not thought possible. The instrument now sings with a voice we had only imagined.”
“From the first conversation to delivery, the experience was white-glove in every sense. Highly recommended.”
“Selecting our concert grand with Matt was one of the most unforgettable days of my artistic life. His ear, patience, and integrity are rare.”
