  • Steinway & Sons
    Revised January 21, 1997 Steinway & Sons (A) A Steinway is a Steinway. There is no such thing as a “better” Steinway. Each and every Steinway is the best Steinway. Theodore Steinway The 1990s was a period of change for the music industry. Foreign competition in the mid-price upright piano market was intense. In addition to well-entrenched players from Japan (Yamaha and Kawai), two South Korean firms (Young Chang and Samick), were emerging as competitors. Moreover, Yamaha and Young Chang had already established a presence in China. Forecasts indicated that the future growth market for pianos will be concentrated in Asia. This case discusses Steinway & Sons’ history, the evolution of its value system, and the current market conditions facing the firm. It highlights the issues faced by Steinway & Sons as its top management formulates its strategy toward the growing Chinese piano market. COMPANY BACKGROUND The Steinway Family Years — 1853 to 1971 Steinway & Sons was founded in 1853 by Henry E. Steinway, Sr. and his sons, Henry Jr., Charles, and William. In 1854 the firm entered and won its first competition. A year later it won first prize at the American Institute Fair in New York. By 1860 Steinway & Sons built a manufacturing facility at 52nd Street and Fourth (now Park) Avenue, on the site now occupied by the the Seagrams Building. Here 350 men produced 30 square pianos and five grands per week. In 1864 the firm opened a showroom on 14th Street. In 1865 sales topped $1,000,000. From the beginning, piano building at Steinway & Sons was a family affair.

  • The Strategies of Piano Manufacturers: Crafts, Industry and Marketing
    The Strategies of Piano Manufacturers: Crafts, Industry and Marketing Yuko Oki, Toyo University, Japan The IAFOR International Conference on Arts & Humanities – Hawaii 2017 Official Conference Proceedings Abstract The piano was invented at the beginning of the 18th century in Europe, and thereafter was developed chiefly in Great Britain during its Industrial Revolution. New manufacturers appeared in the latter half of the 19th century to challenge the older makers such as Bösendorfer of Vienna and Érard and Pleyel of France. The advent of these new makers—Bechstein, Blüthner and Steinway & Sons—led to expanding intense competition. With Steinway's technological innovation, however, the centre of piano manufacture shifted to the United States. In fact, Steinway pianos are still loved today by professional pianists. Meanwhile, the latecomer, Yamaha, adopted a system of mass-manufacturing using automated assembly-line production. Yamaha, enabled by its marketing strategies, soon became a pioneer in the market of Japan and abroad. It went on to become the largest maker of musical instruments in the world, in terms of production quantities. Yamaha has a broad fan base, and it has been to some extent a threat to the Steinway business. Steinway was established at a favorable time, when America's piano market was already expanding. Building on the piano manufacturing technologies already established in Germany, Steinway & Sons' technical innovations perfected the piano as a musical instrument, and the company successfully protected its patent rights. Yamaha, meanwhile, was founded when the piano was already a fully developed musical instrument, and the company successfully focused on how best to mimic manufacturing methods, and efficiently standardize and mass produce its products.

  • Tech Hnology Y and Q Quality at Stei Nway & & Sons
    Case #6-0023 Technology and Quality at Steinway & Sons Bruce Stevens (CEO), Ronald Penatzer (General Manager of Manufacturing Operations), and Robert Berger (Director of Quality) watched the delivery team carefully uncrate the new computer numerically controlled (CNC) shaping machine. The million dollar piece of equipment, one of several CNC machines Steinway & Sons had purchased in the past five years, would allow the supporting wooden members of a piano to be produced in one integrated machining operation, ensuring snug, square joints between the legs and the piano. These leg joints were particularly important because they received punishing jolts as pianos were moved across uneven surfaces. Traditionally, these shaping operations were manually performed in a dozen steps and often reworked to achieve the quality joints Steinway required. The new equipment sent shock waves through the factory, reverberating with customers around the world. The three men, with over 75 years of piano-building experience between them, knew that changes at Steinway could not be taken lightly. Berger, pointing at the machine, commented “some think that Steinway is automating to save on labor costs or improve productivity. But these investments are all about quality. We are making a few specific technology investments in areas where we can improve the quality of our product.” Everyone nodded and the three headed into the rambling, multi-story production facility to review quality improvement at the CNC machines in the action department. The Early Years Heinrich E. Steinweg, a German cabinetmaker, was well-known for the quality of his pianos. He took first honors for craftsmanship and tone at a competition in Brunswick, Germany in This case was written by Professors M.

  • Designing for Authenticity: the Steinway “D” Grand Piano
    Designing for Authenticity: The Steinway “D” Grand Piano Gino Cattani Roger L M Dunbar Zur Shapira Stern School of Business New York University 40 West 4th St. New York NY 10012 USA November 18th 2013 1 Designing for Authenticity: The Steinway “D” Grand Piano Abstract Authenticity is a socially constructed phenomenon within a socially desirable category. While authenticity is always socially constructed, i.e., involves evaluations by audiences such as peers, critics or users, authenticity claims are generally more credible as they are embedded in core features of organizations. To illustrate, we focus on the pianos made by Steinway & Sons. Building upon Thompson’s (1967) organization design ideas of input, technical core, and output activities, we trace out how Steinway & Sons sought audience recognition and prestige by expanding its technical core in ways that were intended to influence perceptions of Steinway piano authenticity. Our study also shows how when Steinway & Sons was challenged by competition and threatened by other external events, the authenticity audiences associated with its pianos acted as a buffer giving the firm time to adjust and change and so exhibit resilience. The implications for research on organization design and authenticity are discussed. Key Words: Authenticity; Craft; Technical Core; Historical Case; Steinway & Sons. 2 INTRODUCTION Authenticity is a socially constructed phenomenon. A product or service is considered authentic to the extent that audiences (e.g., users, critics, peers, etc.) recognize it as genuine and real (Trilling, 1972; Peterson, 1997, 2005; Fine, 2004; Rao, Monin and Durand, 2005; Carroll and Wheaton, 2009). There is no objective determination of authenticity “because interpretations vary across audiences and change across time” (Kovács, Carroll and Lehman, 2013: 3).

  • EXECUTIVE SUMMARY CHINA MUSICAL INSTRUMENT INDUSTRY REPORT September, 2019
    EXECUTIVE SUMMARY CHINA MUSICAL INSTRUMENT INDUSTRY REPORT September, 2019 INTRODUCTION Objectives This research report is an update of the 2018 Edition of the China Musical Instrument Industry Report, and was conducted with the following key objectives: 1. Provide an update on the high-level overview of musical instrument industry overview, competitive landscape concerning domestic production, sales and distribution of key musical instruments (especially piano and violin), as well as consumer groups in terms of their preferences and purchasing channels. 2. Identify key market trends, potential barriers and opportunities for Italian manufacturers interested in approaching and/or entering the Chinese market, and provide practical considerations supported by database of potential distributors and musical conservatories. Conducting Market Research in China and Our methodology Generally speaking, conducting market research in China is different and significantly more challenging than it is in developed countries because of 1) the size and diversity of the country; 2) lack of fully reliable centralized / official information databases; 3) constant and extremely rapid change – the whole Chinese economic system is still far from being in equilibrium. Therefore, solid market research work must be based on multiple resources and activities. Our methodology leverages a combination of resources / activities such as: All relevant background information from Italian Trade Commission regarding the import and export statistics on relevant product

  • Strengthening the Distribution Channel at Steinway & Sons
    Case #6-0027 Strengthening the Distribution Channel at Steinway & Sons From his window in the turn-of-the-last-century-era piano factory in Queens, New York, Bruce Stevens, president of Steinway & Sons, gazed out toward Manhattan where the twin towers of the World Trade Center once stood. He thought about how much the world outside his factory walls had changed. In some ways, much had also changed at Steinway and in other ways, very little had changed. On the one hand, Steinway & Sons was still the most respected name in pianos, and its pianos were still made to designs originally drafted over a century ago, using techniques that were just as old. On the other, Steinway had introduced new product lines and made many changes to its distribution channel. The change that concerned Stevens most at that moment was the poor performance of the Essex line of pianos, introduced by Steinway in 2001 to compete in the low-priced piano segment. Somehow, Steinway had missed the mark. Now Stevens had to make many decisions about the Essex strategy including design, production, and how to re-launch the product line. History Heinrich E. Steinweg, a German cabinetmaker, was well-known for the quality of his pianos. Prolific, by the time he and his family set sail for New York in 1850, Heinrich had made more than 400 pianos. While he quickly landed jobs at various piano manufactories, Heinrich was an entrepreneur at heart. In 1853, he anglicized his name and opened the doors to his own firm, Steinway & Sons. The very first piano Steinway & Sons sold went to a New York family for $500.1 In 1855 several Steinway & Sons pianos were entered at the American Institute Exhibition.

  • HOW to CHOOSE a PIANO by DT DAVID THOMAS
    1st Version 07/2012, 2 nd Version 08/2014 © D Thomas GMCO NZ 2012 & 2014 PO Box 102 004, North Shore 0745 NEW ZEALAND PH 0800 742 667 HOW TO CHOOSE A PIANO An Article by DT David Thomas W elcome to the wonderful world of the King of musical instruments known simply as the piano! One of the first things to consider, and something that is quite unique in choosing a piano is that the purchaser is often buying on behalf of someone else, that is, ‘by someone, for someone!’ Whether it be parent’s buying for a child student, a teacher buying for a school, an administrator (or committee) buying for an institution such as studio, college, university or church, or even an artist advising for a performance venue and so on. This puts the purchaser in the position of needing to decide objectively in the interests of the other person/ people, and this I have found can make the customer feel uncomfortable and vulnerable. It’s not like choosing your own car, or a set of golf clubs. And, with the piano instrument itself having been in manufacture for over 300 years, there are plenty of historical pitfalls to look out for! Therefore it is essential to get good advise that can be trusted so that you can make your choice with confidence … so ask the experts! The piano instrument itself If you fit into this major category of buying for someone else, having been in manufacture particularly parent’s buying their first ‘real’ piano for their children, for over 300 years… it is then read on, this could be very helpful! … essential to get good advise that can be trusted In my experience there are general criteria that keep surfacing when it comes to choosing a piano.
