STEINWAY & SONS was founded in 1853 by German immigrant Henry Engelhard Steinway in a Manhattan loft on Varick Street. Over the next thirty years, Henry and his sons developed the modern piano. They built their pianos one at a time, applying skills that have been handed down from master to apprentice, generation after generation, ever since. The Steinway piano became the choice for ninety-eight percent of concertizing artists, none of whom are compensated to endorse the instrument. The Steinway earned a reputation as an investment for the owner in the legacy of future generations. The very first Steinway & Sons patent was granted in 1857, and since that time, the company has been granted more than 125 additional patents, positioning the Steinway as “the piano by which all others are judged” and “the instrument of the immortals.”

Dear Mr. Steinway, I am very happy to have the opportunity of using your pianos
for my concerts. I consider them to be perfect in every way. Faithfully yours,
SERGEI RACHMANINOFF

“Incredible, what this piano can do! To sit and hear myself — without playing.
The contrast is amazing; it’s a real performance.”
