2005 Boston GP-178 - 5'10" Performance Grand
This is a Boston GP-178, part of the acclaimed Performance Edition—a line designed by Steinway & Sons to offer the prestige and engineering of the world’s finest pianos in a performance-grade grand. Measuring 5'10" (178cm) in length, the GP-178 delivers a remarkably deep, rich sound that rivals much larger instruments, offering a wide dynamic range that meets the rigorous demands of advanced pianists and conservatory environments.
