Padauk, with its rich orange-red hue and unique open grain, is indeed a striking choice. The vibrant color contrasts beautifully with the smooth, polished surfaces of pianos, making them stand out as true works of art. Native to Central and tropical West Africa, Padauk wood is not only visually stunning but also known for its durability and resistance to decay, which are excellent qualities for musical instruments that require longevity and structural integrity.

Each instrument in the Steinway Crown Jewel collection is an original handcrafted work of art, unique in all the world. Crown Jewel pianos are encased in your choice of magnificent woods, prized for their exquisite color and grain, and gathered from around the world. Steinway & Sons craftspeople meticulously match the grain from one end of the piano to the other — even across the beveled edge of the lid. Individually distinguished with a special Limited Edition medallion indicating its uniqueness, a Crown Jewel is a Steinway that truly makes itself heard even before you touch the keys.
