Steinway Piano: Through the Years

All pianos are the same, right? They all have 88 keys, some lack and some white, a couple of pedals and a ench. But no, that’s not all. Not all instruments are held to the same standards as a Steinway piano and it is for this reason that they are so popular. Solid craftsmanship and innovation are the ackone of the company. So what exactly is it that makes this instrument so special? A look into the evolution of the instrument and the company will tell you.
Family. History. Tradition. Craftsmanship. Innovation. These are the main elements that make up a Steinway piano.
A Story of Success
Henry Engelhard Steinway was a cainetmaker orn in Germany where he uilt his very first piano in his kitchen. As an immigrant in Manhattan, he formed the company Steinway & Sons in 1853. The first instrument sold under the company name went for $500, a mere portion of what they are worth today. With his five sons, Henry went on to develop one of the most requested and revered pianos in the world. Royalty and accomplished musicians alike prefer this instrument aove all others.
Over the years, Henry and his sons developed and improved on their Steinway piano. They won awards and accolades world wide. When Henry died in 1871, his sons continued the family usiness and kept the tradition of making quality instruments. It wasn’t long efore manufacturing plants were opened in London and Germany. Illustrating their drive for innovation, the family owns 114 patents, one of which is for a Concert Grand design.
The Product
Approximately 5,000 pieces are uilt each year and each one takes aout a year to complete. With every style, each component is made from the est materials and each lends to the unique sound and design of the instrument.
The instruments are made of different woods to attain the strength and the sound, as well as the eauty each instrument is known for. Eastern rock maple is sliced into 18 layers 3/16 of an inch thick and is used for the rim of the Grand Piano while spruce is used for the Diaphragmatic soundoard ecause of its superior acoustic qualities. These are just a few of more than a thousand details in construction and design that make a Steinway unique to any other instrument. No component is used until it has een through rigorous quality control measures.
As a result of the dedication to quality workmanship and materials, the Steinway is the preferred instrument to around 90% of concert pianists who perform worldwide. While other companies mass produce their instruments, it is evident that people are willing to wait for quality. With only 5,000 eing produced a year, they do not sit in the showroom for long. And, while they may e more expensive than their mass-produced counterparts, the old saying is really true- “you get what you pay for.” It also goes to show what a hard-working family can accomplish when they don’t compromise on their dreams. Because of their continual development in pianos, we get to enjoy some of the most eautiful music in the world.

"There is something here for everybody — the music lover, the history buff, the economist, the sociologist — Lieberman has brought together the many aspects of human development that lie behind the exquisite machine that is the Steinway piano…. A dazzlingly complex tale, masterfully told". — Richard Bucci, Newsday "An often fascinating overview of a musical epoch that may, regrettably, be coming to an end". — Eva Hoffman, New York Times Book Review "Lieberman’s clearly written, often witty history of Steinway and Sons is not only the very model of what a business history should be, covering every inch of that turf from finance to distribution, but is also an extraordinary tale of a family…. Absolutely first-rate history". — Katherine A. Powers, Boston Globe "Structurally perfect, with just the right balance between company anecdotes and the broader context in which Steinway operated, the book is much more than a business history…. It reads like a kind of business Les Miserables, spanning one and a half centuries, two world wars and a host of personal and corporate dramas…. An informative and rich narrative". — Peter Marsh, Financial Times "A fascinating saga of American manufacturing capitalism at its most dynamic, entrepreneurial and hard-nosed". — Malcolm Hayes, Sunday Telegraph

From the selection and aging of wood to the delicate voicing of the finished instrument, this special reissue of 88 Keys – The Making of a Steinway Piano relates the story behind the instrument’s intricate formation, as told by Miles Chapin, a fifth-generation descendant of Steinway’s founder, Henry Engelhard Steinway.

People and Pianos: A Pictorial History of Steinway and Sons $22.91 This is the story of how the Steinway piano came to be the instrument of choice for the world’s greatest pianists. In 1953, Theodore Steinway wrote this narrative in longhand on yellow legal pads as a tribute to his father and to commemorate the first 100 years of Steinway and Sons. The book was a memento for employees and was never released to the public. This revised edition brings the history of this remarkable company to the present day through recollections of Henry E. Steinway, the last family member to remain involved with the company, and Peter Goodrich, vice president of concert and artist relations, who has been with the company for 30 years. In 1850, Henry Engelhard Steinway left Germany for New York City and established what was to become the standard of excellence in the piano world. Using photographs and anecdotes, this book chronicles the business from its beginnings through the Depression, when many piano manufacturers went out of business, through World War II, when the company was forbidden to make pianos, and through the advent of modern technology. Through it all the Steinway piano has prevailed as a symbol of quality. The Steinway artist roster is a living tribute to the company and its pianos. More than 1300 performers have publicly endorsed the Steinway because they believe in the quality of the instrument and will only play and perform on a Steinway.

Piano $9.19 An alluring exploration of the people and the legendary craftsmanship behind a single Steinway piano Like no other instrument, a grand piano melds engineering feats with the magical sounds of great music: the thunder of a full-throated bass, the bright, delicate trill of the upper treble. Alone among the big piano companies, Steinway still crafts all of its pianos largely by hand, imbuing each one with the promise and burden of its brand. In this captivating narrative, James Barron of The New York Times tells the story of one Steinway piano, from raw lumber to finished instrument. Barron follows that brand-new piano–known by its number, K0862–on its eleven-month journey through the Steinway factory, where time-honored manufacturing methods vie with modern-day industrial efficiency. He looks over the shoulders of men and women–some second- and third-generation employees, some recently arrived immigrants–who transform wood and steel into a concert grand. Together, they carry on the traditions begun more than 150 years ago by the immigrants who founded Steinway & Sons–a family that soared to prominence in the music world and, for a while, in New York City’s political and economic life. Barron also explores the art and science of developing a piano’s timbre and character before its first performance, when the essential question will be answered: Does K0862 live up to the Steinway legend? From start to finish, Piano will charm and enlighten music lovers.

Henry Steinway: The Piano Man $1.99 Shiny ebony Steinway grand pianos are ubiquitous in concert halls around the globe. They evoke a European image, but that is misleading. Steinway pianos were born and bred in New York City by Henry Steinway and his sons, emigres from Germany during the revolutions of 1848 that swept Europe and struck particularly hard in the German nation-states. Henry Steinway emigrated to the U.S. and formed Steinway & Sons. Largely through the innovative efforts of Henry Jr., Steinway introduced pianos unlike any ever seen before. One reporter gushed about the new pianos having a “scale perfectly equal and singularly melodious throughout its entire range.” And when Steinway brought out its redesigned grand piano with an extended range of several octaves and a key hammer design for touch and dynamics, it became an instant sensation and placed Steinway as the standard bearer for excellence in the music world. The Steinway story goes beyond pianos. The family built Steinway Hall to give New York a venue for literature and music. And Henry’s sons achieved success in other fields from the military to automobiles. Yet their success and prosperity did not shield them from tragedy. Award-winning author Daniel Alef tells their fascinating tale of achievements and their mortality. [1,740-word Titans of Fortune article]
