Steinway & Sons, also known as Steinway (/ˈstaɪnweɪ/ ), is a German-American piano company, founded in 1853 in New York City by German piano builder Heinrich Engelhard Steinweg (later known as Henry E. Steinway). The company's growth led to a move to a larger factory in New York, and later opening an additional factory in Hamburg, Germany. The New York factory, in the borough of Queens, supplies the Americas, and the factory in Hamburg supplies the rest of the world.
Steinway is a prominent piano company, known for its high quality and for inventions within the area of piano development. Steinway has been granted 139 patents in piano making, with the first in 1857. The company's share of the high-end grand piano market consistently exceeds 80 percent. The dominant position has been criticized, with some musicians and writers arguing that it has blocked innovation and led to a homogenization of the sound favored by pianists.

Every Steinway & Sons grand and upright is a masterpiece of craftsmanship and a consummate work of art . Each Steinway, consisting of more than 12,000 individual parts, has its own musical character and is as unique as the individual who plays it. Pure artistic expression has the power to touch , move and transform , and the Steinway exists to remove all barriers between the listener and the pure, uncompromised expression of the artist. The very first Steinway & Sons patent was granted in 1857, and since that time the company has been granted more than 150 additional patents, positioning the Steinway as the piano by which all others are judged. Our latest innovation, the Steinway & Sons Spirio , is the world’s finest high resolution player piano. A masterpiece of craftsmanship, technology and artistry, Spirio provides an unrivaled musical experience, indistinguishable from a live performance. ‘Incredible, what this piano can do! To sit and hear myself — without playing. The contrast is amazing; it’s a real performance.’ Steinway & Sons was founded in 1853 by German immigrant Henry Engelhard Steinway in a Manhattan loft on Varick Street. Over the next thirty years, Henry and his sons developed the modern piano. They built their instruments one at a time, applying skills that have been handed down from master to apprentice , generation after generation, ever since. The Steinway became the choice for approximately ninety-seven percent of concertizing artists , none of whom are compensated to endorse the instrument. The Steinway earned a reputation as an investment for the owner in the legacy of future generations. 州 Aguascalientes Baja California Norte Baja California Sur Campeche Chiapas Chihuahua Coahuila Colima Distrito Federal Durango Durango Tiaxcala Estado de México Guanajuato Guerrero Hidalgo Idalgo Jalisco México, D.F.
