About the Chas M. Stieff Piano Company
It was founded in 1842 and was known and respected for building excellent pianos with highest quality materials for performance and incredible longevity.
The Chas M. Stieff piano was considered one of the finest pianos made, superior even to the Steinway & Sons, because its piano action was made by Wessel, Nickel & Gross, world renowned and synonymous with the highest quality piano action that one could buy.
Many Steinway & Sons dealers sold the Chas M. Stieff pianos as a more affordable option without compromising quality.
The Chas M. Stieff piano was often referred to as the "Poor Man's Steinway ".
The Chas M. Stieff pianos are part of our American music history and to own one is like owning a rare piece of that history.
Estimated completion: late Spring 2022.
