What grade does Steinway belong to?

Steinway belongs to the highest grade in the piano industry.

Steinway originated in Germany and is the most traditional top piano brand in the world. It is called the diamond in the crown. Its history dates back more than 150 years, and based on 128 patents for its inventions, Steinway is considered the founder of modern piano manufacturing. To this day, each of its pianos is still purely handmade. From the careful selection of wood to the exquisite craftsmanship, each Steinway piano has a unique tone and is praised as the king of pianos in the industry.

In 1853, German immigrant Henry Engelhard Steinway founded the Steinway Company in a small loft on Varick Street in Manhattan, New York. Over the next 30 years, Henry and his sons opened a new chapter in modern piano manufacturing. Steinway & Sons is committed to making the finest pianos in the world. It is this relentless pursuit that creates these instruments of extraordinary quality. Steinway pianos have a sultry tone and extremely sensitive touch.

The development history of the Steinway brand

In 1866, the Steinway Company opened the first Steinway Concert Hall on 14th Street in New York. The main auditorium of the concert hall has 2,000 seats. Before the establishment of Carnegie Hall in 1891, it had been the home of the New York Philharmonic Orchestra and has now become the arts and cultural center of New York City. Today, the Steinway Company has moved to Astoria, now Queens, New York, and built Steinway Village, which has its own foundry, factory, post office, park and employee housing.

In 1871, Henry Engelhard Steinway died, and his sons Theodore and William took over the operation and management of the company. Theodore was an accomplished pianist responsible for the technical aspects of piano making. He personally contributed 45 patents to the company, including one for the modern grand piano invented in 1875. That same year, William helped open a Steinway showroom in London.
