170 years of Steinway & Sons

March 5, 2023 – 170 years ago, Steinway & Sons was founded by Henry E. Steinway in New York.

The passion of our founder, his love for the product and his commitment for highest perfection remain important for the success of Steinway & Sons. This is the reason why the majority of concert halls and pianists worldwide choose Steinway pianos and this is the reason why the purchase of a Steinway means the fulfillment of a long-lasting dream of many amateur musicians. It is our honour that the legacy of our founder continue to live in the entire staff. What he created decades ago is still relevant today and that’s why we do not stop striving for the best.

Our culture of continuous improvement has resulted in numbers of new patents, stunning Limited Editions and the launch of a new technology which is the most significant product innovation since the last 75 years: Spirio, the world’s finest high resolution player piano worthy the name Steinway. Followed by Spirio | r capable of live performance capture and playback and Spiriocast, the sophisticated broadcasting technology which makes the sharing of performances in real time between remote instruments possible. The philosophy of our  founder “to build the best piano possible” remains until today and will last in the future with one goal – to inspire music lovers worldwide and set the standard for quality and joy.
