music enjoyment according to the latest standard

All grand pianos in the MASTERPIECE 8X8 collection are issued as Model B-211 and are equipped as STEINWAY & SONS SPIRIO, the world’s finest high resolution player piano. A masterpiece of artistry and engineering in your home, SPIRIO enables you to enjoy performances played by great pianists — captured with such nuance, power, and passion that they are utterly indistinguishable from a live performance.

A WRITING INSTRUMENT AS INDIVIDUAL AS THE PIANO

Each Masterpiece 8X8 comes with a high-quality writing instrument designed by Hamburg–based designer Jan Zander exclusively for Steinway & Sons.

Individually handcrafted by Zander from the original solid woods of the collection, the design corresponds to the look of the instruments and once again underlines the passion and attention to detail that go into them. The design of the clip harkens back to a Steinway patent from 1880 and employs the shape of the screws of the pressing device developed at that time, still used today to bend the grand piano case.
