Steingraeber Kammerkonzertflügel C-212
The C-212 was introduced at the beginning of 2009 and is a direct descendant of the 1873 Steingraeber Liszt Grand Piano Model 205. We have recently adapted it to the dynamic requirements of the 21st century. However we have also preserved the chamber-music appeal of the 205, which, for 140 years, has captivated pianists from Franz Liszt and Richard Strauß to Daniel Barenboim.

Due to its precisely-differentiated characteristics, rich sound spectrum and even registers, the C-212 is frequently used for song recitals, chamber music, New Music concerts, and, needless to say, at universities of music (for example Hannover, Helsinki, Lucerne and Paris).
