Get to Know This 1917 Steinway Grand A3

The Model A3 is one of the rarest and highly sought-after models that Steinway produced between 1914 and 1945. It is only 2.5 inches longer than the standard Model A, but this slight increase makes a significant difference in sound. This 1917 Steinway Model A3, featuring the original soundboard, has just been restored by our expert Craftsmen with new bridge caps, and a brand new action. The traditional case has been refinished in a classic satin ebony. This piano now looks and plays like a brand-new Steinway, all at a fraction of the cost of a new model! Our team is dedicated to ensuring that the tone of this piano meets your personal preferences. The piano includes a matching bench.

It brings me such joy to play and practice again. Being a Juilliard graduate decades ago, it has always been a lifelong dream to own a Steinway. Now since retiring I realized I can do this my “Golden Age” Steinway grand. I had come across the Lindeblad Piano Restoration website a few years ago and was impressed with so many glowing testimonials on past clients. It is no window dressing, but the truth! The Lindeblad team of super talented artists are absolutely amazing! They can transform an unrestored piano into a magnificent work of art that happens to sound and feel amazing. It is so inspiring to know there is such a company out there doing just that. Sean and Todd Lindeblad along with Matt, Rob, and Bobby were personable, honest, and I knew I can trust them all. I knew I had found the best possible team to help me with my lifelong dream of owning a Steinway. Now everyday I can hardly wait to tickle the ivories as my dad would say to me as a kid! Our friends and family are in awe of such a beautiful piano too. So if this is something you have been contemplating, just do it, and call the Lindeblad team. They will not disappoint.

This was the week of our church piano dedication. We received delivery in April and thought it appropriate to review and have the dedication in the same week. The piano is wonderful beyond words. It has been tuned twice and played on for the past 6 months with continuous growth of beautiful sound. A Steinway representative and piano tuners were impressed with the workmanship and tone. Todd and Sean were invaluable in helping with concerns and questions concerning such a huge investment sight unseen. It was always like sharing a conversation with your next door neighbor and not a salesperson. And this is also true of the technicians that delivered the piano. Just down to earth people setting up and sharing conversations like we had known them forever. After discussing the church musical needs, we decided on the model A3. It is truly a piano of concert grand character. Thank you Sean, Todd, the Lindeblad family, technicians and all the many people of the company in helping to make this life long bucketlist dream a reality. Wayne Krigger

Having visited several companies in my piano quest, and finding none to be unpleasant nor particularly unsatisfactory, my Lindeblad experience proved itself to be peculiarly superior. Peculiar insofar as the inventory is onsite in both the Dover location where the instruments are refinished, and the Pine Brook showroom where one can try the finished products. You will find the atmosphere to be dignified and comfortable with as much time as you please to explore the various instruments. Todd Lindeblad is more of a host and guide than a salesman, by that I mean to say that he never pressured me nor failed to accommodate whatever I needed in my search, I felt as if I were a member of the family from day one. Having conducted my search for a piano for over a year, I was impressed seeing the longevity of their technicians, many are Lindeblads, and others seemingly familial towards each other, that made me confident in the quality I would find with all of the components in their refurbished pianos. I am thrilled with the piano I purchased through Todd Lindeblad, it is a joy to have my “forever Steinway “ it will be there for my children who are both musicians as our family heirloom for generations to come! I say with confidence that everyone seeking a piano should call the friendly and professional Lindeblad family and schedule a visit, I found them to be an absolute pleasure to work with, helpful and honest through and through. I think you will have the same experience I had and you will be, like I am, a Lindeblad customer for life. Thank you, Todd and family, you guys are amazing. Sincerely, Joe Picone

I can't speak highly enough about Lindeblad Piano Restoration. I had always dreamed of owning a Steinway grand, but always felt like it was just out of reach. Todd Lindeblad gave patient and knowledgable advice about selecting a model for my space and options for restoration. Thanks to Lindeblad, I have the piano I always dreamed of.

Wow! I just received my restored 1916 Steinway and am so ecstatic over what an amazing job the Lindeblad team did! Besides making the entire case come to life again, the reconditioned action allows me for the first time ever to create soft notes and nuances I was unable to achieve before. From the very first call to the delivery, it was first class all the way. I found the company extremely professional and responsive and they kept me up to date throughout the process, even sending me videos of my piano throughout. They gave me confidence every step of the way and I would use them again in a heart beat. I highly recommend using Lindeblad. Besides my home, my piano is one of the biggest investments I own and I know I chose wisely when I decided to go with Lindeblad Piano. It was well worth the wait! A big shout out of sincere thanks and appreciation to everyone at Lindeblad! I am one happy customer!

I was the winner of the Lindeblad Piano Sweepstakes for a fully restored Steinway grand piano. I could not be happier with my Steinway A3 piano. Lindeblad made the process easy for me the entire way. When I was first notified that I had won I had several conversations with the great people there who helped me pick out a piano, talked to me about my preferences, and the music I like to play, and helped me really fine tune the instrument to not just be just as good as a new Steinway, but built around my preferences. I never felt lost in the process, and they were always willing to talk me through some of the parts that I didn't understand. I even got the to pick the color! When delivering the piano they took the utmost care getting it into my home, and placed the piano exactly where we wanted it. Everyone was polite and had our needs in mind. I was happy to get the chance to talk with the people of Lindeblad. The piano far exceeds my expectations and was a life changing experience for me to now have such a quality instrument in my home studio for personal and professional use.

Lindeblad has given me amazing service on the purchase and rebuild of my 1920s A3. The result is beautiful both sonically and visually! The team was knowledgable, patient, worked with me to find the right instrument, and presented all the different options without any pressure. They were completely transparent on all the materials used, walked me through the shop to see the work myself, sent pictures during the rebuild, and were diligent in ensuring everything was perfect at and after delivery (follow up was great.) The craftsmanship is superb, and the experience was very professional and low pressure (important for a big purchase!) The voicing was done perfectly, matching the profile that Paul and I discussed over a set of conversations. I highly recommend them if you're looking for an absolutely top quality instrument.

We had Lindeblad Piano restore our 1927 S&S A3 Louis XV piano and the entire experience with them was phenomenal. The piano was located in Illinois and we researched numerous restoration specialists and Lindeblad was, by far, the most professional. We shipped our piano to them in September and they kept in contact with us during each step of the restoration process. Once we got the piano delivered back to us in February it was like a brand new piano and it sounds terrific! Thank you Paul, Todd and the entire team at Lindeblad Piano Restoration

Lindeblad is a family-owned shop. We received timely, friendly, personal attention throughout the restoration process, and so did our piano. Everyone we had contact with was knowledgeable and professional. Having transportation included was a big plus, and the cost was competitive. Absolutely no regrets choosing this company to do our restoration!

The people at Lindeblad Piano Restoration provided us with an exceptionally wonderful 1919 Steinway A3, after they fully rebuilt to the most exacting standards. The piano literally sings and possesses a richness and tone rarely found in other instruments, including other Steinway A2's and B's that I have played. Further, I can't speak highly enough of the people at Lindeblad's. I visited the facility twice, the first time allowing me me the opportunity to select a piano. The employees struck me as totally engaged and happy to be producing great pianos. Paul and Todd Lindeblad are totally committed to customer service, responsive to questions, and are very concerned with ensuring their customers are pleased with both product and service. This has been probably been our best purchasing experience. I cannot recommend them more highly. Vince Vitollo
