For Sale in the UK: Steinway model B Duo-Art pedal/electric grand
(7'6" / 228 cm), mahogany, 1928. This piano is a restoration project.
All of its Duo-Art Pianola action was removed in the 1960s and it was
then used as a piano until I purchased it.

Only 12 model B Duo-Art pianos were made, of which I know of 8. These
were made at Steinway's Hamburg factory and sent to The Aeolian Company
in London to have the Duo-Art action fitted at their Hayes Factory.
The model B is the largest Duo-Art grand offered in Europe by Aeolian,
and were not made or sold in the USA. I have all necessary original
Duo-Art components here to reconstruct the Pianola action, with the
exception of the stack.

However, I have a complete Steinway model B Duo-Art here as well, and
the stack in that piano can be used as a template to have another stack
made, utilising valves and other parts from an 'orphan' stack removed
from another Duo-Art grand. (This procedure is not new, and has been
successfully done several times in recent years.) The piano itself needs
complete restoration (re-polishing, re-stringing, piano action rebuilding)
but it is structurally-sound.

This is an extremely rare opportunity to acquire a large Duo-Art grand
piano, examples of which very seldom become available. Please contact me
to discuss it further. Pictures available on request.
