Description
For someone who has always wanted a Steinway but needs the practicality of an upright, the Model 1098 is worth a closer look. This used model comes in walnut satin with a matching bench, giving it a warm, traditional appearance without a high-gloss finish.
Steinway built its uprights using the same craftspeople, techniques, and conditioning processes used for its grand pianos. The 1098 carries that approach into a studio upright design, making it an interesting option when a grand simply doesn’t fit the room.
At 46½" tall and 25" deep, it leaves room for everyday life around the piano. You can create a dedicated place to play in a living or music room without needing to organize the entire space around a grand. Allow some additional room for the bench and comfortable seating when planning its placement.
The walnut's understated sheen works naturally alongside wood furniture, and the matching bench completes the look. For a family making music part of daily life, the piano can feel at home among the furnishings you already enjoy.
Of course, choosing a used Steinway, or any piano, is about finding the one that feels right to you. We encourage you to come spend some time playing and compare it with other uprights in our showroom. Our team can help you listen for differences and find the touch and tone you prefer.
Every used piano at Miller Piano Specialists is inspected, serviced, and approved by our on-staff technicians. This 1098 also includes our 100% lifetime acoustic trade-up benefit, so your purchase can count toward a future upgrade if your musical needs change.
