1880年以前的旧款施坦威钢琴已经十分罕见了，尤其是19世纪70年代的B型系列钢琴由于一年只生产大约100架，许多已经消失了。这个时代的C型系列和19世纪80年代和90年代的施坦威还有许多普遍存在。在过去的5年时间里，我们看到的所有的地方，只有这唯一的一架6'10"B型钢琴在销售。我们发现了3架更为常见的7'2型钢琴，它们分别被卖到$250,000; $135,000 and $80,000.这些钢琴根本没有原来的谱架，象牙琴键或原配的琴凳。一架与这架钢琴相似的新的施坦威B型艺术外壳钢琴将会超过$90,000的售价。B型钢琴被认为“完美的尺寸”施坦威，由于它们常常比A型更具有力度和音色，对一个家庭来说看上去就象近似9'D型系列，还不至于太巨大。

Older Style (pre-1880) Steinways are very rare, especially the 1870s Model B's since there were only about 100 built annually and many have perished. Model C's of this era and 1880s and 1890s Steinways are much more common. In the last 5 years, this is the only 6'10" model B we have seen anywhere for sale. We have found 3 of the more common 7'2 models and they were selling for $250,000; $135,000 and $80,000. These pianos did not have the original music racks, ivories or matching benches either. A new Steinway Model B art case similar to this piano woud cost over $90,000. Model B's are often considered the "perfect size" Steinway since they often have better power and tone than an A, yet do not look too massive for a home, like the nearly 9' Model D's.
