One of the only Art Case uprights Steinway has produced in recent history, Oasis is inspired by the reeds of a desert oasis, tall and resplendent amidst the barren sands. The background is veneered with the rare and beautiful Amboyna Burl wood, and the handcrafted golden reeds are finished in quilted maple. The visual of the quilted maple’s curly figuring subtly alters with the light or viewer’s angle, giving the reeds the illusion of soft movement, and completing the alluring aesthetic.
