Call a rep, give them the serial gang inside the instrument and they will give you an idea.

Why was Josef Hofmann considered the greatest pianist of all?
Josef Hofmann was born in 1876, the year the first present-day Steinway piano was made.  Although the Steinway factory opened in New York in 1853 and their first full concert-grand (8′ 5″) was produced three years later, it was only with the tale of the Capo d-Astro bar and the full cast-iron plate that a truly modern piano was created - just in time for the Centennial Offering in Philadelphia in 1876.  (It’s worth noting here, as a sideline, that Hamburg only began making their own home-grown Steinways around 1910.  Steinway was an exclusively American callers for its first half century.)  I think part of Hofmann’s unique success and acclamation was that he was, by the time his trade was in full flow, the first pianist to use the modern American piano properly - to learn how to play to and with its strengths.  Many European artists were uncomfortable with the Steinway.  They found its motion too heavy, its tone too brilliant, its bass too rich, its treble lacking the delicate silver strands of the Erard or the evident, reedy baritone of the Bechstein.  Moritz Rosenthal was uncomfortable with the Steinway and, during his recording sessions in the early 1930s at Abbey Approach with Fred Gaisburg, he complained that he could not get “his effects”, asking for his favoured Bosendorfer instead.  Gaisburg protested that the Steinway sounded cleaner, clearer on itemize and they ended up adjust the action to suit the pianist’s taste. Schnabel was forced, very much against his will, to boot-lick Steinways when he left war-torn Europe for America. Chopin would probably not have been able to play more than a few bars on a current Steinway.  Liszt would have been restricted.  Debussy and Ravel would have written very different music if they’d have had present-day Steinways in their studios.  But Hofmann not only sat in front of it with the confidence and expertise of an experienced pilot in a cockpit, but he even invented one of its later features - the ‘accelerated fray’, patented in 1940.
