America's premier handcrafted piano manufacturer, building concert and residential grand pianos at its Astoria, Queens factory since the 1880s. Founded in 1853 by German immigrant Henry Engelhard Steinway, the company's unionized craftspeople spend more than a year hand-assembling each of the 12,000 parts in every instrument.
