A 1907 Steinway Piano Upright Joins GSI

We’re happy to share that our shop has recently received a very special addition: a 1907 Steinway & Sons upright piano. This beautiful instrument belongs to GSI President David Collett who recently received it from his brother. We are excited about the new opportunities it opens for our recordings and projects.

The guitar repertoire includes many works written for guitar and piano, and having this piano on hand means we can now explore that music more fully for our YouTube channel. Even more exciting, it will allow us to record full concertos with piano reduction—an important alternative to full orchestral versions that makes these works more accessible while still retaining their depth and character.

This historic Steinway will no doubt become an important part of our ongoing mission to share the richness of the guitar’s repertoire. Stay tuned for upcoming recordings featuring this new addition!
