Steinway Piano ... truly an American Made Hero Company!


Steinway & Sons was founded in 1853 by German immigrant Henry Engelhard Steinway in a Manhattan loft on Varick Street. Henry was a master cabinet maker who built his first piano in the kitchen of his Seesen, Germany home. By the time Henry established Steinway & Sons, he had built 482 pianos. The first piano produced by the company, number 483, was sold to a New York family for $500. It is now displayed at New York City's Metropolitan Museum of Art. AmericanMadeHeroes.com!

That which distinguishes Steinway pianos, more than all else, is summed in our dedication to a single ideal: Make the finest pianos in the world. Since the firm was founded in 1853 that ideal and its three basic principles, as stated by our founder Henry E. Steinway, have guided us: 1 -- "Build to a standard, not a price." // 2 -- "Make no compromise in quality." // 3 -- "Strive always to improve the instrument."

Today, Steinway & Sons crafts approximately 5,000 pianos a year worldwide. Over 1300 prominent concert artists and ensembles across the world bear the title Steinway Artist. No artist or ensemble is a paid endorser of the piano. Each Steinway Artist personally owns a Steinway and has chosen to perform on the Steinway piano professionally. In North America, artists select their Steinway for concert performances from the company's unique "piano bank," an inventory of more than 300 pianos valued at over $15 million.
