Boston UP-118E 2012 - Ebony

This piano is in pristine, like new condition and plays excellent! Regular maintenance record and minimal use. Comes with padded duet bench.

A Boston UP118 isn’t just an upright — it’s a Steinway‑designed performance instrument built for players who want grand‑like tone in a compact footprint. At 46½" tall, the UP118 delivers a surprisingly powerful, resonant voice thanks to its tapered solid Sitka spruce soundboard, engineered to vibrate more freely for richer bass and sparkling treble.

Crafted with full-length laminated spruce backposts for rock‑solid stability and long‑term tuning integrity, the UP118 uses Steinway’s patented Octagrip™ pinblock, giving the tuning pins exceptional grip and keeping the piano stable through seasonal changes.

The action is entirely wooden (no plastic), built from solid maple for precision, durability, and a responsive touch that serious pianists immediately notice. Premium compression‑wired hammers produce a warm, singing tone with excellent sustain.

The UP118 fits beautifully into homes, studios, and teaching spaces while offering the expressive range of a much larger instrument.
