Since its founding in 1853,
Steinway & Sons has been dedicated to a single ideal:
Make the finest pianos in the world. That ideal and the three basic principles of our founder Henry E. Steinway have guided the House of Steinway for more than 150 years:
“Build to a standard, not a price.”
“Make no compromise in quality.”
“Strive always to improve the instrument.”

While known for superior craftsmanship,
Steinway & Sons has also led through product innovation. Our earliest pianos were distinguished by their inventive features, and we have made technical improvements ever since, constantly enhancing the performance of the piano.

Today, each Steinway, Boston, and Essex piano is a testament to our commitment to innovation, integrity, and craftsmanship. On stages and in concert halls, in conservatories and houses of worship, or simply in the homes of music lovers, the Steinway piano and the Steinway designed Boston and Essex pianos, are truly the standard of the piano world.
