The Model K: A reference among upright pianos, combining power and compactness

First introduced in 1904, the Model K was designed to redefine the quality standards of upright pianos. This model is renowned for its rich tonal spectrum and its ability to produce an impressive volume, making it a top choice in its category. According to Guido Zimmermann, President of Steinway & Sons Europe, the brand's upright pianos rival the grandeur of their famous grand pianos while benefiting from a vertical structure, making them an ideal choice for smaller spaces. The Model K embodies this excellence, particularly through the use of the finest materials and the most sophisticated techniques, combined with artistic craftsmanship.

The Dolce Pedal: A major technical innovation for the Model K

In 2020, Steinway & Sons enhanced its Model K with a significant technological innovation: the Dolce Pedal. This mechanism expands the possibilities for sound expression, offering the pianist greater precision in note articulation, smoother repetition, and enhanced control over dynamic transitions between fortes and pianos. This advancement marks a turning point in piano performance, opening new perspectives for expressive play.

An advantageous model for small spaces

Thanks to its compact design, the Model K represents an ideal solution for piano enthusiasts living in urban areas or smaller spaces. Despite its reduced size, it retains all the richness and power typical of Steinway grand pianos, allowing musicians to enjoy superior sound quality in environments where a larger piano would be impractical. The Model K successfully offers the best of Steinway & Sons while fitting harmoniously into more modest interiors.
With the Model K, Steinway & Sons continues to push the boundaries of craftsmanship and technology while honoring over 120 years of heritage.
