The Action

Exacting precision is the hallmark of the Steinway ⁠&⁠ Sons action — the transfer of energy from the keys to hammers – and essential to the storied Steinway touch. The action consists of thousands of single parts, which are meticulously assembled by our skilled craftsmen. The action is acting in the background, offering the entrance to the world of sound, though, thanks to its sophisticated opportunities of touch. More exacting and precise parts allow more responsiveness of the action. For us, it is essential that the manufacture of such important action parts lay in our hands so that we can guarantee a top quality. Therefore, the company Louis Renner, the leading producer of grand and upright piano action located in Germany, is part of our company since 2019.
