STRETTO PIANO CONCERTS

 Here’s a private video from 11 years ago that Hannah used to audition for a women inventor’s casting that she was invited to. You might find it amusing and informative in light of developments about these pianos today. 

Please see the events page for more information about our upcoming concerts! 

After 30 years of working with Steinway & Sons, Hannah is happy to announce custom-built Steinway grand pianos with keys that are narrower than conventional keys

Stretto = narrow in Italian

Pianos like the "Stretto" Steinway grand she owns whose keys fit her little hands, created from her personal efforts and resources in 1997 are now available from Steinway & Sons USA also in the EU and all other territories on custom-order.

Please contact Hannah at reimann.musicandfilm@gmail.com if you are interested in ordering a new custom “Stretto” grand piano from Steinway & Sons. As an Official Steinway Educator and an artist who has promoted and researched such pianos since she was a student, this victory will lead to even greater innovation! Most of all, a choice is now being offered to pianists who are not comfortable playing a 48-inch, 88-key keyboard.

Hannah is the only liaison for these new instruments and will be happy to connect serious inquiries for newly built Steinway grand pianos with narrower keys to the appropriate parties.

At this particular time, Steinway & Sons does not retrofit existing pianos with narrower keys. In other words, they don’t provide the service to rebuild the piano you now own to have narrower keys - they will only build new ones.

If you would like to have your existing grand piano retrofitted with narrower keys, please contact David Steinbuhler in the USA at (814) 673-5056, dskeyboards@tbscc.com or Kluge Keyboards in Germany at info@kluge-klaviaturen.de. You will need to have a technician available in your local area to rely on to assist in the retrofit of your piano.

If you would like to try her Steinway grand piano in New York City please contact her and the Stretto Piano Concerts team.


Hannah conceived of a music festival for stretto pianos in 2021 to celebrate Steinway’s participation in this exciting innovation in piano technology. In collaboration with the Inaugural season’s Co-Artistic Directors, pianist and professor, Carol Leone, and pianist Rhonda Boyle, and thanks to their network, PASK (Pianists for Alternately Sized Keys) the International Stretto Piano Festival was born, featuring 18 pianists from four continents performing for nine days in May 2021.

All the performers at these festivals concertize on pianos that have keys that are narrower than conventional ones.

Upcoming posts on this website, the Stretto Piano Festival Facebook page, the PASK website, and its Facebook page will update interested performers and audiences about this unique event and other things Stretto!
