The iconic Steinway & Sons x Disney: Mickey Mouse piano debuts in the UK

Steinway & Sons are proud to announce the arrival of the Steinway x Disney: Mickey Mouse Limited Edition piano to London, which made its debut during a private concert in London on the 5th of November 2024. The Limited Edition grand piano was initially created to celebrate 100 Years of Disney and is inspired by the beloved character that started it all, Disney’s Mickey Mouse. Showcasing the evolution, innovation and artistry of the past century, the collaboration unites the two historic companies together for the first time and invites audiences around the world to discover the power of music and Disney.

A world-class collectible, the Steinway x Disney: Mickey Mouse Limited Edition piano perfectly blends timeless artistry and whimsical charm to create a harmonious masterpiece for the eyes, ears, and heart. Programmed with over 100 songs to commemorate a century of Disney storytelling, the unique piano features a wide selection of treasured musical numbers to choose from. Adding an extra touch of Disney magic, the collaboration was unveiled for the first time in the UK, when superstar pianist and Steinway artist Lang Lang performed a selection of his favourite Disney songs during an intimate concert at Ladbroke Hall London.

For more than a century, Steinway has captivated global audiences and united people through music. Craig Terry, Managing Director Steinway & Sons UK comments “Disney has long been a cherished part of my American heritage, as has Steinway & Sons of course, who I have been working with for over 30 years now. It’s incredibly rewarding to see these two iconic brands come together to create such a beautifully crafted, joyful piano. We have eagerly been awaiting the arrival of the grand piano and look forward to presenting this exceptional instrument to our customers at our London showroom.”

Crafted with passion and precision, each of the 25 pianos in this collection will be hand painted. The vibrant masterful vision, which includes artworks of Mickey Mouse, was created by acclaimed Italian artist Elena Salmistraro. Created for music lovers and piano aficionados alike, the Steinway x Disney: Mickey Mouse Limited Edition piano features Steinway’s signature SPIRIO | r technology, the world’s finest high-resolution player piano capable of live performance capture and high-resolution recording and playback. The bespoke piano’s music library will be continually updated.

“I’ve been inspired by Mickey Mouse’s lively character, curiosity and joy since I was little,” said Salmistraro. “The piano’s white background represents the sketch board that Mickey Mouse was originally created on years ago while rich and colorful tones give energy to his iconic characteristics. The blue gradient represents the movement of music around him, brought together through the gold rivers to create a symphony of sound.“

The Steinway x Disney: Mickey Mouse Limited Edition piano is now available and on display at Steinway Hall London, Marylebone; price on request.
