The Making Of A Steinway

Renouned piano-maker Steinway & Sons has released this fascinating video that details the manufacturing process behind a Steinway piano. This video features the company's Astoria, N.Y. plant, although there's another one in Hamburg, Germany that works very much the same way. Based on the amount of personal care and work that goes into every finished piece, there's certainly a sense of artistry that goes into each. And the company isn't just relying on centuries-old techniques — it mixes hand-crafted work with more modern machinery in order to maintain the highest of quality.
