Boston Institutional Upright - Designed by Steinway & Sons
Designed by Steinway & Sons in New York, this Boston Institutional Upright was originally designed for the rigours of university music school and conservatory practice room use. As Steinway's best selling upright, it is used in numerous schools across the country, including University of Georgia, Georgia State University, Kennesaw State University, Mercer University and Gordon State College, to name just a few. The model is also a favored practice room piano in numerous All-Steinway schools with their great combination of big sound, responsive action and value.
Comprised of Steinway's most advanced design patents and features, developed over their nearly 170 year history, Boston (and Essex) pianos are the ONLY mid-priced pianos to be infused with Steinway design-DNA.
Boston uprights are designed with over 30 Steinway patents and designs, including custom tapered solid Spruce soundboards for full, rich sound. The action geometry is identical to Steinway's patented accelerated action with all hard-rock maple wood action parts (no plastic) for the best tactile feel and response. The massive back post construction on the back is not found in any non-Steinway piano and creates superior stability and longevity. Steinway's patented Octagrip pinblock of quartersawn maple for tuning stability, is the latest innovation in today's third edition of Boston pianos - the "Performance Edition II".
Boston upright pianos are ideal for both individual players as well as institutions looking for a high quality, mid-priced piano with Steinway and Sons' design from the ground up. These instruments include a 10 year parts and labor warranty and a matching bench. Each Boston is concert prepped and tuned prior to delivery by our Steinway-trained expert staff technicians. A second complimentary tuning in the home or studio is included within 60 days after delivery.
Each new Boston upright also includes a full trade-up certificate to a new Steinway grand or upright piano anytime within 10 years of purchase, thus guaranteeing your trade value.
