D-274 (or D) is the model name of a concert grand piano, the flagship of the Steinway & Sons line, first built in 1884. It is generally described as the first choice of most concert pianists. At 274 cm (8′11¾″) long, 156 cm (5′1¼″) wide and 480 kg (990 pounds), the D-274 is too large for most domestic situations. In concert hall settings, on the other hand, the D-274 is a major presence. An example would be the famous Van Cliburn International Piano Competition, which traditionally offers contestants a choice of two D-274s owned by the Van Cliburn Foundation, supplemented with another choice from an outside source.
