Steinway & Sons Model 1098
Compact Excellence with True Steinway Character
The Steinway 1098 delivers the legendary Steinway sound and craftsmanship in a more compact, studio-friendly form. Designed for institutions, music schools, and private homes where space is at a premium, the 1098 stands out as a high-performance upright that brings concert-quality tone and touch to a smaller footprint. With recent refinements in materials and construction, the 1098 offers even more depth, control, and beauty than ever before.
Diaphragmatic, tapered Solid Spruce Soundboard
The Model 1098 features a carefully tapered, close-grained spruce soundboard designed to vibrate freely and efficiently. Though more compact than the K-52, the 1098 still delivers a warm, resonant voice with surprising volume and sustain, making it ideal for serious pianists in limited spaces.
Responsive Steinway Action & Hexagrip Pinblock
Steinway’s custom-engineered action in the 1098 provides precise control and smooth repetition, ensuring an expressive, dynamic playing experience. The patented Hexagrip pinblock helps maintain pitch stability through seasonal changes—critical for both home and institutional settings.
Solid Hardwoods for Rich Tone and Durability
The 1098 is built with the same premium solid woods used in Steinway grands. Its durable and elegant cabinetry enhances the instrument’s projection and resonance, while offering a refined aesthetic suitable for any interior.
