STEINWAY TODAY

Master to apprentice, generation after generation, every STEINWAY is built with experience decades in the making — by artisans who take pride and time to humanize a piano still made by hand, who strive for and achieve continuous innovation and improvement. Every STEINWAY & SONS grand and upright is a masterpiece of craftsmanship and a consummate work of art. Each STEINWAY piano, consisting of more than 12,000 individual parts, has its own musical character and is as unique as the individual who plays it.
“I have had many musical collaborations in my life, but my most enduring one is my Steinway, that has its pride of place in the living room of my family home. It is my favourite musical partner, able to read & transpose my moods musically when I sit at it to write my songs and musicals, and a reliable and trustworthy source of comfort, joy and harmony.”
DICK LEE

Pure artistic expression has the power to touch, move and transform, and the STEINWAY piano exists to remove all barriers between the listener and the pure, uncompromised expression of the artist.
