Sunburst guitars have been the voice behind some of the most iconic rock music ever created. Completed with a dynamic gradient of vibrant colors ranging from bright yellow to deep red and black, a sunburst radiates pure energy and commanding stage presence.
Now, that radiance can come from a unique source.
Radiance
The Steinway & Sons Sunburst pays homage to the legendary rock musicians who defined an era and continue to inspire future generations. Its iconic sunburst finish adorns the inside of the fallboard, and when the classic Steinway lid is lifted, the Sunburst’s inner rock star emerges, amplifying the music. Two timeless classics unite in perfect harmony as the sun rises: Sunburst. A radiant explosion of light and energy.
“We need to get beyond the idea that a Steinway is for one kind of person. No matter your competency, there’s a real joy in playing a Steinway.”- Robb Report

Inspiration
Who is the Sunburst – or any Steinway for that matter – for?
“We need to get beyond the idea that a Steinway is for one kind of person,” explains Guido Zimmermann, president of Steinway & Sons Europe, who worked with Wolfgang Niedecken and Michael Nass on Sunburst’s design.
“With Sunburst, we’re reaching out to music enthusiasts who enjoy both the perfect sound of a Steinway & Sons grand piano as well as a quirky and legendary design.”
