For over a century, the world's most accomplished
pianists have preferred to express their musical genius
on Steinway & Sons pianos. The list includes the
giants of 19th and 20th century classical, jazz, and
popular music; the men and women who have shaped the
world's musical heritage. The joy of playing and owning a
Steinway piano, however, is not the exclusive domain of
the virtuosi. Rather, it is a world open to all who share
a love of music, fine craftsmanship and enduring quality.

It began as a challenge: could a new kind of piano
design eliminate the compromises in performance found in
all comparably priced pianos? The Boston Piano Company
was formed by Steinway Musical Properties, owners of the
world's legendary piano manufacturer: Steinway &
Sons. Drawing on the incomparable experience of Steinway,
proven concepts and materials were adapted for the
special requirements of high tech manufacturing. And,
even with sophisticated computer modeling to speed each
breakthrough, the process required six years. While the
heritage of Steinway is unmistakably present, all designs
for the Boston are unique. There are no interchangeable
parts. Playing the Boston piano is proof that technology
can indeed be taught to enhance performance, not
compromise it. (more)

musical standards, is the latest reflection of Steinway's
design and innovation the Essex piano. Built with
a completely new Steinway scale design, the Essex piano
is remarkably affordable and sets new performance
standards for comparably priced pianos. (more)
