But in testament to their singular qualities, Steinway pianos remain the instruments of choice for more than 90% of the world's performing artists. As one of the oldest piano manufacturers in the world, Steinway has learned a great deal about building this most elegantly complex instrument, and a great deal about what every potential buyer would like to know.
