Timeless Beauty, Inspired Performance
Steinway & Sons’ Essex baby grand in the Cherry French Provincial cabinet is a piano that embodies classic elegance and refined musicality. With its gracefully carved legs, scalloped music desk, and warm cherry satin finish, this piano brings a touch of old-world charm to any home—while delivering the sound and feel expected from a design rooted in Steinway tradition.
Measuring barely over 5 feet in length, this baby grand is ideal for those who need a more compact footprint without compromising musical quality. The rich tone, long sustain, and expressive dynamic range make it suitable for both casual players and serious students. Despite its size, the Essex baby grand projects with authority, thanks to its wide-tail design, which allows for longer bass strings and a larger soundboard area—producing a tone that feels far bigger than the dimensions suggest.
Designed under the direction of Susan Kenagy, Director of Design at Steinway & Sons, this piano is part of the Essex line that she proudly describes as containing “the Steinway genome.” That phrase captures the heart of this instrument: it carries the essential DNA of Steinway’s legendary scale designs, action geometry, and tone-building craftsmanship, all adapted into a more accessible and stylistically diverse piano.
The Cherry French Provincial finish is perfect for those who value traditional furniture design and want their instrument to blend seamlessly into a home with character and warmth. The hand-rubbed satin sheen brings out the depth of the wood grain, while ornate yet tasteful cabinet details create an heirloom-quality visual presence.
The responsive, all-wood action is crafted to Steinway’s specifications and delivers a satisfying, nuanced touch. Paired with a tapered solid spruce soundboard and structural elements like staggered backposts, the Essex baby grand is built not only to perform beautifully but to last for generations.
And with the Steinway Promise, owners can apply the full purchase price toward a new Steinway grand within ten years—making this a wise first step on a lifelong musical journey.
In every sense, the Essex EGP-155 in Cherry French Provincial is more than a piano—it’s a statement of taste, heritage, and passion for music.
