Introducing Timber, our matchmaker service for our previously loved pianos —highlighting what makes each one unique, who they’re best suited for, and the kind of musical journey they’re ready to share with you.
Whether you’re looking for a lifelong companion or a spark to rekindle your love of music, is your perfect match just a few clicks away?
Bio:
Easygoing, dependable, and surprisingly versatile. I’m not flashy, but I’ve helped a lot of people get started. I believe music should be accessible, welcoming, and judgment-free.
I’ve been around long enough to know the basics really matter. I’m patient, forgiving, and happy to grow with you — one scale at a time.
Looking for:
A first-time pianist, a growing family, or someone who just wants to make music without pressure. Let’s keep it simple.
Red Flag:
Too nice. May let you get away with skipping scales.
Deal breaker:
Unrealistic expectations. I’m here to learn together.
Bio:
Old soul with stories to tell. I may not be the newest thing in the room, but I’ve got warmth, character, and a voice that’s mellowed beautifully with age.
I’m solid, honest, and prefer real connection over flashy specs. I’ve seen trends come and go — I’m still here, still playing, still relevant.
Looking for:
Someone who appreciates character and doesn’t mind a little patina. Let’s make music the old-fashioned way.
Red flag:
Has opinions about modern trends and isn’t shy about it.
Deal breaker:
Chasing trends. Substance matters more.
Bio:
Emotionally mature, technically advanced, and not afraid of commitment. I’m known for my spruce soundboard and Millennium III action — lightweight, responsive, and engineered to last. I believe in consistency, reliability, and showing up perfectly regulated every day.
I’m great with beginners but really shine once you get serious. I respond quickly to touch, love expressive conversations, and can handle intense classical moments without losing my composure.
Looking for:
Someone who practices regularly and appreciates precision. Bonus points if you like long evenings with Chopin.
Deal breaker:
Bad habits. I will not enable them.
Height: 48″
Location: Designed by Steinway, built in China
Bio:
Well-designed, thoughtfully built, and quietly confident. I’ve got a Steinway-designed scale, spruce soundboard, and Röslau wire, but I don’t need to brag — my tone does that for me.
I balance warmth and clarity beautifully and offer a refined experience without being intimidating. I’m the sweet spot between aspiration and practicality.
Looking for:
Someone who wants quality, depth, and good value — and knows a smart choice when they see one.
Deal breaker:
Underestimating me. Happens once — not twice.
Bio:
Professional. Polished. Widely admired.
I’m the kind of piano teachers recommend — not because I’m trendy, but because I work. Clear communication, excellent projection, and a touch that builds good habits.
I’m stable, dependable, and known for showing up in tune — literally and figuratively. If you’re serious about improving, I’ll meet you where you are and push you forward.
Looking for:
Committed players. Students with goals. Teachers who know what they’re doing. No drama — just results.
Deal breaker:
Neglect. I thrive on regular interaction.
Bio:
Classic. Refined. Not here to play games.
I’m known for my depth, warmth, and emotional intelligence. People say I have a “grand-like presence” even though I’m technically an upright. I value craftsmanship, tradition, and meaningful connection.
I don’t rush things — I believe good tone takes time. I reward patience with richness, nuance, and a sound that stays with you long after the room goes quiet.
Looking for:
A serious pianist, teacher, or someone who appreciates quality over trends. Long-term commitment preferred.
Red flag:
Might ruin all other uprights for you. Once you commit, there’s no going back.
Deal breaker:
Being treated like “just an upright.” Respect is non-negotiable.
Age: Modern classic
Height: Depends on the model 😉
Location: Designed in New York, built abroad
Bio:
Smart, well-designed, and quietly confident.
I’ve got Steinway DNA, modern engineering, and a big voice for my size. I’m approachable but capable — the kind of piano that surprises people once they really get to know me.
I value balance, projection, and versatility. I’m as comfortable with Debussy as I am with movie soundtracks.
Looking for:
A pianist who wants quality, performance, and value — and appreciates a well-thought-out match.
Deal breaker:
Snobbery. I’m confident — I don’t need validation.
Bio:
Sophisticated with a soulful side.
I’m the kind of piano people fall in love with slowly — and then never forget. Rich, expressive, and capable of both intimacy and power. I fit beautifully into elegant spaces but can absolutely hold my own when things get dramatic.
I believe in nuance, emotional range, and music that says something.
Looking for:
An experienced player with good taste, a sensitive touch, and a deep appreciation for expression. Bonus points if you play late at night.
Red flag:
Emotionally deep. You may start cancelling plans just to spend more time together.
Deal breaker:
Heavy-handed playing. Sensitivity is required.
Bio:
Reliable. Athletic. Always shows up prepared.
You’ll find me in conservatories, studios, and on stages around the world. I’m balanced, articulate, and thrive under pressure. I don’t overcomplicate things — I just deliver.
I love clear communication, solid technique, and partners who know where they’re headed musically.
Looking for:
Dedicated pianists. Advanced students. Someone who practices consistently and likes things to work.
Red flag:
Sets the bar very high. May make you feel guilty if you skip practice.
Deal breaker:
Inconsistent commitment. If you don’t practice, I lose interest.
Bio:
I was born in 1891, the same year Carnegie Hall opened its doors and Tchaikovsky made his American debut. While basketball was being invented and history was being written, I was leaving the Steinway factory in New York — crafted during what many consider the golden age of piano making.
I’m an original A-1 Parlor Grand, first introduced in 1878, with design DNA borrowed from my bigger sibling, the legendary Steinway Model B. My scale was created by C.F. Theodore Steinway, a visionary with more than 45 patents to his name — several of which live on inside me.
Yes, I have Duplex Scaling, a laminated long bridge, and a tubular metallic action frame — but I also have stories. I once belonged to Tomson Highway, Indigenous Canadian playwright, novelist, and children’s author. I’ve been part of creativity, culture, and quiet moments that mattered.
Recently, I’ve had a glow-up. I was lovingly rejuvenated by Bolduc Pianos, with a brand-new soundboard, bridge, pinblock, bridge capping, pins, and strings. My action was rebuilt, my hammers voiced, my body carefully cleaned. I feel renewed — but I’ve kept my soul.
And yes… I still have that magical Steinway sound.
Looking for:
Someone who appreciates history, depth, and real connection. A player who listens as much as they play. Casual flings need not apply — I’m best experienced slowly, in person.
Red flag:
Has lived a full life and will remind you of it — often, and beautifully.
Dealbreaker:
Judging me without hearing me first.
