Boston Piano History
In 1991 the Steinway & Sons piano company began working with the Kawai piano manufacturer in Japan to build the Boston piano to Steinway specifications. By this arrangement, Steinway can offer their patented technologies as a lower cost to their customers.
Steinway Piano History
Steinway & Sons was established in Manhattan in New York in 1853 by Heinrich Steinweg, a German piano maker who immigrated from Germany in 1850. The company has grown to be one of the most prominent piano manufacturing companies today, has won numerous awards, and is perhaps the most recognized name in the world of pianos today.
Although the piano company is no longer run by Mr. Steinweg's descendants, the piano continues to be manufactured in New York. Today the company has branched out to include the Boston and the Essex pianos which are made in Japan (Boston) and China (Essex).
