The instrument has an extra heavy plate and the extra third section capo d'astro bar made under C.F. Theodore Steinway's supervision early in 1876. It became known as the Centennial after being exhibited at the Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia and winning the gold medal. This instrument comes with the original purchase document and was acquired by the present owner from the great-grandson of the original owner. The instrument has the original ebony sharps and flawless, very thick (1/16 inch) one piece ivories. The original action is meticulously restored with 20 pound hammers, made by Norbert Abel. The Centennial is the first fully modern piano with string tensions greater than the current mass-produced Concert Grand that initiallywent into production after 1877. Its fundamental sustainability and power, through all registers, is unsurpassed. In his authoritative book, Pianos and Their Makers, Alfred Dolge discusses the Steinway Centennial Rosewood Concert Grand.
