The George Steck Legacy

George Steck began producing pianos in New York City in the mid-1800s. Known early on for thoughtful engineering and quality materials, the company quickly earned a reputation for consistency and musicality. By the late 19th century, George Steck instruments were being used in conservatories, performance venues, and private homes across the United States and Europe.


As the American piano industry evolved, Steck continued to innovate. Their uprights and baby grands were designed with both tone and space in mind, offering full-bodied sound in elegant, compact cabinetry. Today, vintage George Steck pianos are sought after by players who appreciate a classic American piano with a lyrical voice and solid build.

Why Consider a George Steck Piano?

If you are new to piano shopping, brand names can feel overwhelming. You may not know what to look for beyond a beautiful case or polished finish. Here’s what makes a George Steck a strong candidate for your home:


  • Balanced, mellow tone

    George Steck pianos are known for their warm, rich sound. The bass tends to be round and full, while the treble is smooth without becoming too bright. This makes them ideal for a wide range of music, from classical to jazz to pop.


  • Reliable action

    With proper restoration and regulation, George Steck pianos offer an easy and consistent touch. They are comfortable for beginners and responsive enough for intermediate and advanced players.


  • Timeless cabinetry

    Most Steck models feature classic upright or baby grand silhouettes, with tasteful wood finishes and refined lines. These pianos complement both traditional and modern interiors.


  • Long-lasting construction

    Vintage Steck pianos were built with quality wood and attention to structural detail. When restored by professionals, these instruments can serve another generation with stability and charm.


  • Great value in the restored market

    George Steck pianos offer a balance of performance and price that makes them a practical investment for families, students, and hobbyists alike.

Our Restoration Approach

At Pianos Now, every piano goes through a careful, hands-on restoration process. Our goal is to bring out the original voice of each instrument while ensuring long-term reliability. Because we do all restoration in house, we control every detail and stand behind the quality of our work.


For George Steck pianos, our process typically includes:


  • Structural inspection and repair of the soundboard, bridges, and pinblock


  • Full action restoration with new felts, bushings, and regulated key mechanisms


  • Hammer voicing to ensure consistent tone across the keyboard


  • Tuning and pitch correction over multiple sessions for stability


  • Cabinet cleaning or refinishing to restore beauty and protect the case


  • Final quality control checks by experienced technicians before delivery


We do not over-restore or strip away the instrument’s original voice. Instead, we focus on retaining its character while bringing it up to modern playing standards.

George Steck Models We Restore

Over the years, George Steck produced a range of upright and grand pianos. Many of these vintage instruments still have strong musical bones and respond beautifully to proper restoration.


The most common models we restore include:


  • Console Uprights (about 40 to 43 inches tall)

    These pianos are compact, stylish, and great for home use. The tone is warm and the cabinets often feature attractive veneers or decorative accents.


  • Studio Uprights (about 44 to 48 inches tall)

    Studio-sized Steck uprights offer more soundboard area and longer strings, which translates to a fuller, richer sound. A good choice for players who want more dynamic range.


  • Baby Grands (about 5 to 5.5 feet long)

    These pianos combine graceful appearance with expressive sound. They work well in living rooms, teaching studios, or performance spaces where space is limited.


If you are looking for a specific style or wood finish, let us know. We often have instruments in the restoration process or available soon.
