TT6 - Steinway Piano
Abstract:
The Steinway Factory Tour is a visit to a working factory. Steinway & Sons was founded in 1853 by German immigrant Henry Engelhard Steinway. They built their pianos one at a time, applying skills that were handed down from master to apprentice, generation after generation.
During the factory tour, you’ll witness the entire process of creating a piano, starting with the raw wood, to the various veneers, to the final tuning, and end with viewing a display of multiple Steinway pianos in an acoustically sensitive setting.
Part of the tour's cost includes bus transportation to and from this location. You must purchase a ticket at the Tech Tours desk at the Javits. Anyone that shows up without a ticket will be turned away.
Limited to 25 to 30 people.
