Live Grand - Modern D

The Steinway D is a legend, the ultimate musical instrument, and can be found in 80% of all concert halls worldwide.

Due to the high price of over €250,000 and its size, this instrument is not accessible to everyone. It is also not always cost-effective.

However, the big artists and stars in social media such as Peter Bence almost all play it. They present the listener with interpretations of their songs that can only be realised with this grand piano model.

For this reason, MAS selected the Steinway D as the first instrument to be included in the "Live Grand" simulator.
