What Makes A Steinway Piano
Music is engrained in us all. We are all affected by music for a reason, and regardless of your level of technical knowledge of musical theory or ability to play an instrument; we have strong thoughts and opinions on various genres of music and songs were hear. Sound is very important to the human mind and a lot of processing power is dedicated to this function that we can often take for granted. If you ask someone to compare the sound quality of two different speakers, most will accurately tell you which ‘sounds’ better but will have a difficult time explaining their reasoning.
Fossils of ancient instruments date back thousands of years to man’s primitive age, as the boundaries between communication and music were forged. Animals communicate in musical sequences and patterns to convey information (birds chirping, wolves howling) but they do not use foreign tools to create new sounds and harmonies they could not have done on their own. In a way music was a tool used for celebration, ritual and healing, and it seems that as soon as human subcultures created tools and objects, the creation of musical instruments followed closely behind.
In the same manner that evolution has progressed our technical achievements, instruments have been evolving in order to achieve and produce magnificent sounds to appease the masses throughout the years. Music has always been a part of human culture, and the dedication and craftsmanship of days long ago can still be found on certain instruments today. The modern piano is a truly amazing piece of engineering, and the Steinway & Sons piano company has been mastering the art of building them since 1853. Combining various construction materials and precisely tuned components, a Steinway grand piano consists of more than 12 000 single pieces that are handcrafted together over the course of a year. Attention to detail is an understatement as only the highest quality materials would be used in a process so detailed oriented. There is a reason why 9 out of 10 concert pianists use a Steinway.
Tradition is a huge element for companies that produce prestigious products. Dedication to the craft and art of manufacturing fine instruments is passed on through generations of tradespeople who uphold the highest level of standard in their work. Unfortunately in our world of cheap alternatives and factory-assembled products, this ‘old world’ level of dedication in the manufacturing process is hard to come by.
Steinway has a large collection of pianos to choose from and galleries are situated in many cities for you to visit. Whether you are considering investing in an instrument that will be passed on through generations or simply want to hear what these majestic and unique pianos sound like, it is worth taking a look at them in person. While dedication and craftsmanship applies to the creation of the physical unit in terms of sound integrity, beauty and elegance in aesthetic design is also second to none. These pianos are truly works of art.
