This 1934 Steinway Model L is a rare find — featuring a stunning African Mahogany veneer with beautiful window pane legs and all-original cabinet parts. African Mahogany is one of the most visually striking veneers Steinway ever used, with a rich, warm grain that transforms into something truly spectacular under a fresh finish. This piano is a blank canvas waiting to be brought to its full potential, and every detail of the restoration can be tailored to your exact preferences.
Our expert craftsmen will perform a complete restoration before this piano ships, including a full action rebuild, new strings and pinblock, bridge recapping, harp rebronzing, and a refinish that will bring the African Mahogany veneer back to life. See below for the complete list of work.

The look of a piano is one of its most important attributes. Once stripped to the original unfinished wood veneer, the choices are limitless. Select from a wide variety of stain colors, or we can mix a custom color. Once stained, layers of lacquer are slowly applied to create your desired finish, from open-pore to closed-pore. Finally, the lacquer is painstakingly hand-rubbed to create a satin, or high-gloss polish.
Once your piano is delivered, we give you 30 days to play it and make sure everything is exactly as you wish. If not, simply let us know, and we will pick up the piano and give you a full refund. Additionally, when you buy a restored piano from Lindeblad you can, at any time in the future, exchange that piano for another of our pianos and apply the full price you paid to the exchange.
