The Steinway Grand Piano is the most prestigious piano on today’s market. They cost from the upwards of $52,000 for the US built version of the piano and twice that amount for the Hamburg built version. These pianos are owned by the extremely wealthy and/or fantastic pianists. Steinway Grand’s are used in the top music conservatories and universities in the world. No other piano’s quality can surpass that of a Steinway. The process of making a Steinway has not changed much since it was founded in 1853 by Henry E. Steinway.
The making of a Steinway is a one year process. The first step of making a Steinway is selecting a matured maple tree from Steinways personal “Piano case maple forest.” Once the maple has been selected, it is soaked and steamed for two weeks. During this time, the wood expands and becomes slightly pliable. After the steaming process, the wood is taken out and formed around a steel casing of a piano. It takes twelve to fourteen full grown men to bend the maple around the form and use bolts and straps to secure it to the form. After three days of air drying in the factory. It is brought outside (summer only) and allowed to expand and shrink around the mold for one week.
After the wood has taken the shape of the mold, it is released and put in a room with two hundred other grand piano cases. Each case stays in the temperature controlled room for two months. If you take the case out too late or too early the piano will not have Steinway quality and is rejected. This happens only about once every three years. During the two months of curing, the action is made. The action is the part of the piano that the keys are attached to. When you press a key, the action moves a hammer, which in turn, strikes a string. The making of an action is a delicate process. The action contains 8,800 moving pieces (100 pieces per key). Very few people are qualified to make a Steinway action. Also, during the time the action is being made, and the case is being cured, the bridge, soundboard, and veneers (only for pianos with wood grain finish) are being made.
The process of bridge making is well kept secret. Only 3 men in the US make bridges for Steinway. These men are special craftsmen; they are able to create a bridge that will fit perfectly inside the piano without measurements. The bridge is attached to the soundboard. The sound board is the “heart of a Steinway piano.” The soundboard is made of specially selected spruce. The spruce it cut into strips that are 6 inches wide and they are beveled and put together. Once the soundboard has been put together, it gets ribs and is shaped; then the bridges are attached. Once all of the piano pieces are made and painted they are put together.
To assemble a Steinway, you first attach legs to the case. Then you lower and attach the soundboard to the case. Then you slide the action in, lower in an iron casting and bolt it into the case. Once an inspection has been made and passes ALL of the tests, the piano is strung and tuned. When the piano is tuned properly, the stings exert a force of 10,000 lbs on the piano. The iron casing keeps the piano from collapsing. After the assembly process has been completed, the piano is shipped out to various dealers, schools, recital halls, and Steinways one and only “Steinway Hall” in New York City.
The Steinway piano is the best piano money can buy. Steinway’s goal is to “Build the best piano possible, [and] sell it at the lowest price consistent with quality.” For over a century and a half, the world’s most accomplished pianists have preferred to express the musical talents on a Steinway & Sons piano. Though many people believe that owning a Steinway & Sons piano is exclusive to the virtuosi, it is in-fact “a world open to all who share a love of music, fine craftsmanship and enduring quality.”
