@@reddyup9713 Not at all. The factory builds a thousand grands a year. Not necessarily the big Model D Concert Grand. And about 250 uprights. That's over 80 a month, which means more than twenty a week. However, they have to make rims and soundboards in advance to let the wood stabilise. The woods used today are of inferior quality- I know, I'm a cabinet maker by trade. All the fine trees have been cut down and no longer exist. You'd have to be a fool to lay out 285k for a piano that's simply not worth that- at all. Better off buying an older model- 30's, and having it totally restored. The sound of the modern instruments is atrocious- no soul. Have a look at the Australian Stuart and Sons, the most original piano on earth today. Then there's the parallel-stringed Stephane Paullelo built here in France. These are real artisan instruments, unique in their own rite. Steinway is just a monopoly. They have extremely agressive market techniques. Bösendorffer are a big cut above.There's also the German Steingraeber und Sohnne- excellent.

Also, the wood does dry/season naturally - for a full 2 years - before it ever enters the kiln. The thing is, natural drying can't guarantee you get the moisture content to as precise a level as we need. When woods go in, we know the moisture content and know exactly how long it will need to spend in the kiln to get to the very precise moisture content for this wood to be ready to continue in the process towards becoming a piano.

Before choosing the Steinway M I bought ( 1945 ), I've probably played 10 to 15 other Ms, including new ones. Why such a drastic difference in sound? Shigeru Kawai pianos and top Yamaha don't present such drastic differences. Also, I can't understand why most technicians have a beef with Steinway, while constantly praising Shigeru Kawai, Bosendorfer and Fazioli? Do these manufacturers have higher standards than today's Steinway production?

I always love watching master craftspeople make beautiful things.

Thrillscience, the wood used in the rim may sometimes erroneously be referred to as "plywood" but it's not. It is Hard Rock Maple, one of the hardest woods available, and absolutely not cheap. This wood needs to be as hard as possible for a couple of reasons. 1) to provide strength and stability to the entire piano -- the rim is essentially the foundation 2) because softer woods (like Luan which is sometimes used) would absorb some of the sound rather than projecting it back out of the piano.

Yes, the rim of a grand piano must reflect the sound back to the board and then into the bridges. With many European pianos including Yamaha, softer woods are used for rim construction and tonal power and complexity of sound is lost. Yamaha does use a solid rim, but not true rock maple. It is usually beech with a layer of luan which will never work for a piano's projection power.

You need to take some courses in piano technology instead of parroting brochure text. The rim prevents energy from being lost but an excessive reflection of energy can cause undesirable sound reflection that very often occurs on Steinways. Piano manufacturing is always about compromising and energy consumption has positive effects to balance the tone, an extreme example of this is Bosendorfer which uses spruce (a soft-wood) the energy consumption rate is higher and diminishes the amount of reverberation resulting in a cleaner sound envelope. There are a number of piano makers who have surpassed these mediocre piano manufacturing methods implemented by Steinway, unfortunately, don't have the presence in the market or the ability to make professional pianist acquaintance with their pianos. I know this comment will be deleted because it is not in the best interest of Steinway to be exposed. Including the fact that I suspect that some of the small pianos' rims with black polyurethane finish are not made in the USA by Steinway and although I have no evidence that this is true, the hint is that they look identical to another brands' rims, and I never saw any infrastructure at Steinway's factory that indicates they are set up to make rims with black polyurethane coatings. At least for a brief moment, someone will find out that there are people out there who really know about piano-manufacturing and are not impressed by fairy tales or the indoctrination of piano players but they have true expertise and had evaluated multiple manufacturers. All these famous pianists favor Steinway because they already know that when you are touring that's all they will find to play on, so even though they may enjoy or like other brands better, they understand that they won't be able to find it or bring it to concerts so they already OK with a brute workhorse like model D. At that level a piano is a tool, people on the outside think the pianist is melting playing a Steinway. No! they are working that's all and many expressed how crappy they can play. Many concert pianists around the world owned fine pianos in their homes that are not Steinway.

grew up learning to play on 1904 Steinway upright that has been in my family for generations, when my mother handed it down to my older sister i was crushed to be separated from it. truly beautiful instruments of unmatched quality.

For the background music, using solo Baroque pieces is an obvious choice to convey the clarity of the Steinway piano, but I still want to express my appreciation for the selection here. They picked five little masterpieces by the King of Counterpoint, J.S. Bach, that are already loved by any student of music, and by not picking those that are by now part of the popular culture of classical music, thus avoided the distraction that would cause. And the progression is just perfect: The simple beauty of the selections from the French Suite in G during the woodwork, followed by one of the most elegant and dramatic fugues from the Well-Tempered Clavier (especially for a major key) during assembly, and finally a selection from the Partitas (some of the most gripping and mature solo piano music Bach wrote) once the piano is complete and final adjustments are made to achieve perfection, with a powerful ending in a minor key at the close of the video that imparts the magnificence, solemnity, imagination, and suspense any musician feels at the sight of grand piano. And of course we must acknowledge the artistic expression of the pianist, adding ornamentation and expression that is tasteful for the Baroque, yet unique and charming in that way. This video just shot to the top of my all-time favorites!

I went to university in the Philippines back in the 90s. In the university church was an old piano that was used for many decades. I didn't know anything about it until one day a room mate of mine who was a music major told me that during that week the piano had to be tuned and the music department hired a piano tuner to tune the said piano. The tuners arrived and when they saw that it was a Steinway they almost cried. It was the first time they have ever seen one in person, having heard of its reputation in the piano world. The university had it appraised after the work and back then it had already reached in the millions of pesos due to its brand and being a classic. It still plays in the university church to this day I believe.

I've watched this video before and was always in awe in how they're made. I just returned from getting the chance to actually play on one, and it was the best piano I've ever performed with. I had to watch this video again after that experience.

Steinway is a masterpiece of workmanship, amazing the fine details in making their great piano's. They are the finest for a good reason.

My 2nd piano teacher had a full concert grand 9' in her home . By its very nature it was big, imposing, yet the volume of sound that you can only get from a hand built acoustic, filled the home. It could make good pianists sound awesome, And could show up a lesser player in a instant. For all its grandeur, nothing feels or quite sounds like a Steinway. !

What a Handwork process , Handwork becomes Art.

O sonho de todo pianista ,ter um piano desse...

The incredible amount of precision and detail that goes into making each Steinway piano is absolutely mind-boggling. But it's quite clear that each worker takes an enormous amount of pride in what they are doing.👏🤝🥰

STEINWAY & SONS IS A DREAM FACTORY WHY DOES IT ONLY HAV 27K SUBS?!?!?!?!

Awh 😍 grateful for the people who build them!

I had the privilege of touring this factory about 15 years ago with a woodworking guild that I belong to. It's even more amazing than the video suggests!

Amazing craftsmanship goes into these pianos. I’m not a pianist, but appreciate quality made products. Beautiful

8:10 that was the most beautiful outro I have ever heard!

I have been a piano tuner for 35 years and have a good friend who has a Steinway B. They are great pianos. They are also very loud, being meant for the stage. For the typical piano player or student, the later Yamahas or Kawais are fine. They have excellent tone. Maybe your can't play a major 3rd that sounds like anything in the second octave, but most piano music doesn't do that anyway. I have a Yamaha C5 that is completely satisfactory in my 500 square foot living room. My friend's B is sometimes deafening in her music room, when we have a party. We have to keep the lid down.

Great clip, I really enjoyed that. I had forgotten that the Steinway piano is an american made product, it makes me proud, in a patriotic sort of way.

What he didn't tell you is what an old piano tech told me over 50 years ago - if you suspend a Steinway frame and hit it with a leather hammer, it will "bong" around 1000 HZ, adding brilliance to the bass and fullness to the treble. Other guys frames would just go "klunck".

Those people who work in the Factory are real artisans indeed....with such steady hands...I'd be a nervous wreck doing that kind of work. I do wonder how much a new concert grand costs, probably could buy a new John Deere tractor in the place of it. I do love to hear them played.

Thanks! Now I can build my own Steinway!

I never learned to play a piano, but I love the sound they make. One of my uncles had one and played it every morning and often in the evening. Many people came to the house to listen to him play and sing. It was great!

Handmade Perfection of Sound and Design🎹☝️

Grand father Matheis Weiss was Piano Varnisher for Steinway, Queens, NY abt 1890 to at least 1910. I try to imagine with a Camel hair brush? Would love to take the actual tour. Bucket list!

+George Paul I had an upright Steinway that I sold a while back. It was made in about 1918. I was impressed that the person that worked on it signed his name on the soundboard. It had been used at the Univ of Okla. Everyone always wanted to play it because it sounded so great.

New drinking game: take a shot every time he says "Steinway" or "patent" 👌

First year of Composition, G. Rossini conservatory in Pesaro, Italy. My old piano teacher, an historical figure of said conservatory, was becoming a bit forgetful after many years of teaching, and he would often arrive later, if not at all. One day our usual room was occupied and so we started wandering around the big historical palace looking for an empty classroom. Fortunately, the reception ultimately bounced us to some sort of secondary concert hall of the conservatory where there were resting some Steinways, among the others. We picked one. That was the first (and the last time) I've ever played a Steinway. Sadly, back then I was still practicing Hanon exercises, so you can imagine Hanon played on a Steinway in a little concert hall. But still, up to this day I can say that somehow those Steinway keys "stayed" with me for the rest of the day, even after I came back home. It's like they got under the skin of my fingers and remained there with a warm feeling for a while. I can antedate that feeling (sorry for the neuroscientific term, I was too young back then, so I can only compare that feeling to a similar adult-life one) to the same one you're left with when you've just laid with the girl you like and then you're freed of all your drives and worries and maybe you have to go to work or attend to something else, but you've just laid with the one you love and everything's perfect for a little while.

Every year I get the chance to play a Steinway a couple of times.. It's a humbling experience. The touch and tone. always encourage me to do my best.

One day I swear I will own one of these.

LOVE STEINWAY...!!!! FOR EVER

I don't play the piano, but this video makes me want to buy one. That is one good looking piece of art.

Deepest love from Philippines 🇵🇭
