This stunning satin finish cherry veneer piano is the companion to the pearwood Pianissimo designed by Mr. Schriber in 1999. The lid design is formed by three cherry sections trimmed in ebony, and rests on the piano case without an overhang. The case is supported by a one-piece carriage featuring elegant split cherry legs and a built-in lyre. Other distinctive design elements include cherry dampers with clear coat lacquer, hardware finished with custom patina, a maroon piano plate and coordinated maroon leather bench.

An extremely accomplished furniture maker, James Schriber began his career as a woodworker in a small Vermont shop. From there, he went on to the Rochester Institute of Technology and met designers such as Jere Osgood and Wendell Castle who were combining woodcraft and art.

This fusion of woodcraft and art helped propel James forward. He has been a guest Lecturer at prestigious design schools from Rhode Island to California. His work has been exhibited at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, the Chicago International New Arts Exhibition, and the Renwick Museum in Washington, D.C.

Steinway & Sons is proud that Mr. Schriber has brought his considerable skills to bear on Pianissimo in Cherry.
