  • 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.

Between 1855 and 1930, Steinway produced over 200 “fancy pianos” for special customers in the United States and Europe. Customers included the Goulds, Fricks, and Rothschilds. Art case pianos were custom-designed to suit particular clients. The designs were not always made into pianos.

  • 2008 OAH Annual Meeting • New York 1
    Welcome ear colleagues in history, welcome to the one-hundred-fi rst annual meeting of the Organiza- tion of American Historians in New York. Last year we met in our founding site of Minneap- Dolis-St. Paul, before that in the national capital of Washington, DC. On the present occasion wew meet in the world’s media capital, but in a very special way: this is a bridge-and-tunnel aff air, not limitedli to just the island of Manhattan. Bridges and tunnels connect the island to the larger metropolitan region. For a long time, the peoplep in Manhattan looked down on people from New Jersey and the “outer boroughs”— Brooklyn, theth Bronx, Queens, and Staten Island—who came to the island via those bridges and tunnels. Bridge- and-tunnela people were supposed to lack the sophistication and style of Manhattan people. Bridge- and-tunnela people also did the work: hard work, essential work, beautifully creative work. You will sees this work in sessions and tours extending beyond midtown Manhattan. Be sure not to miss, for example,e “From Mambo to Hip-Hop: Th e South Bronx Latin Music Tour” and the bus tour to my own Photo by Steve Miller Steve by Photo cityc of Newark, New Jersey. Not that this meeting is bridge-and-tunnel only. Th anks to the excellent, hard working program committee, chaired by Debo- rah Gray White, and the local arrangements committee, chaired by Mark Naison and Irma Watkins-Owens, you can chose from an abundance of off erings in and on historic Manhattan: in Harlem, the Cooper Union, Chinatown, the Center for Jewish History, the Brooklyn Historical Society, the New-York Historical Society, the American Folk Art Museum, and many other sites of great interest.

  • STEINWAY HALL, 109-113 West 57T1i Street (Aka 106-116 West 58L" Street), Manhattan
    Landmarks Preservation Commission November 13, 2001, Designation List 331 LP-2100 STEINWAY HALL, 109-113 West 57t1i Street (aka 106-116 West 58l" Street), Manhattan. Built 1924-25; [Whitney] Warren & [Charles D.] Wetmore, architects; Thompson-Starrett Co., builders. Landmark Site: Borough of Manhattan Tax Map Block 1010, Lot 25. October 16, 2001 , the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a public hearing on the proposed designation as a Landmark of Steinway Hall and the proposed designation of the related Landmark Site (Item No. 3). The hearing had been duly advertised in accordance with the provisions oflaw. Eight people spoke in favor of designation, including representatives of the property's owners, Community Board 5, Municipal Art Society, American Institute of Architects' Historic Buildings Committee, and Historic Districts Council. In addition, the Commission received two letters in support of designation, including one from the New York Landmarks Conservancy. Summary The sixteen-story Steinway Hall was constructed in 1924-25 to the design of architects Warren & Wetmore for Steinway & Sons, a piano manufacturing firm that has been a dominant force in its industry since the 1860s. Founded in 1853 in New York by Heinrich E. Steinweg, Sr., the firm grew to worldwide renown and prestige through technical innovations, efficient production, business acumen, and shrewd promotion using artists' endorsements. From 1864 to 1925, Steinway's offices/showroom, and famous Steinway Hall (1866), were located near Union Square. After Carnegie Hall opened in 1891, West 57t1i Street gradually became one of the nation's leading cultural and classical music centers and the piano companies relocated uptown. It was not until 1923, however, that Steinway acquired a 57th Street site.

The tone of these instruments is intrinsically musical and sympathetic, and at the same time full, resonant, and penetrating, while without suggestion of harsh- ness. Their sustaining power and singing quality are remarkable. The action is firm, but light and delicate, and instantly responsive in the expression of subtle degrees of light and shade.
