Steinway & Sons, a model of luxury pianos. Originally originated in Germany, due to the earth-shaking revolution that took place in Germany from 1848 to 1849, it moved to New York, the United States. Founded family company in 1853. To this day, it is still the designated piano for the Chopin International Piano Competition and the Tchaikovsky International Piano Competition. It has also been the first choice piano for famous pianists around the world for a century. Among pop stars, Elvis Presley, John Lennon, etc. are loyal customers of the brand. Sotheby's auctioned a Steinway grand piano in 1980 for $390,000. A Steinway ebony upright piano used by John Lennon during his lifetime has an auction estimate of between 900,000 and 1.1 million pounds, or RMB 11 million to 13 million. Among many piano makers today, if anyone’s piano can receive such an evaluation: “As good as a Steinway!” they will definitely be overjoyed. In a famous piano store in mainland China, a Steinway nine-foot piano sells for 1.35 million yuan. This money can buy more than 100 ordinary pianos and more than 500 assembled computers. If you buy it with discounted air tickets , can fly between Beijing and Shanghai 3,400 times, once a day, and can fly for nearly five years. Even people who have never touched a piano or bought a piano music record may all know the name Steinway & Sons. Before you know it, Steinway is 150 years old. Needless to say, how many top piano masters have given Steinway enthusiastic praise. Just by looking at the origins of the two Steinways in our Xinghai Concert Hall, you will know what "State of Art" means. For these two pianos, Steinway sent people from Germany to inspect the climate conditions in Guangzhou. Based on the inspection results, they selected suitable wood. It took three years to complete these two Big Macs. It is often said that every Steinway has its own personality. Steinway's pursuit of sound is almost perverted, and it must undergo rigorous inspections before being released to ensure that each Steinway piano has a unique sound. In terms of timbre, Steinway's voice is difficult to express in words. It feels like a graceful and regal voice. Whenever people hear Steinway's voice for the first time, they are all impressed by its noble temperament. Steinway's piano has a rich bass, a warm and generous midrange, and a bright and gorgeous treble. But as far as the alto is concerned, Steinway is the most outstanding, with strong appeal and expressiveness. If you think about it carefully, how can Glenn Gould's CD-318 be the same as the one Vladimir Horowitz carried around the world all day long? People like to talk about the difference in "tone" between pianists, but in fact, 80% of the difference in tone is determined by the piano, not the pianist. If you don’t believe me, why don’t you ask Horowitz to play Gould’s piano? The Steinway's treble has a very obvious special metallic sound, which makes the sound very open. If Steinway and B?sendorfer (famous violins in Vienna) are compared to human voices, one is the sound of a mature person, and the other is the sound of a young person. From the perspective of expressing music, German and Austrian works are better heard on B?sendorfer pianos, but for many works, especially modern works, it is more suitable to use Steinway, whose expressive power is more comprehensive. Therefore, only the high-pitched metallic sound cannot be compared to the Steinway. Steinway & Sons is more famous and prestigious than my beloved Fazioli, and 90% of pianists in the world will choose Steinway as their first choice when playing, and many famous concert halls will also choose Steinway. I will voluntarily play a Steinway piano, because Steinway has this kind of kingly temperament, and it deserves to be loved by music fans all over the world. Steinway has very strict requirements on sound. It is said that Steinway's requirement for pianos is to make the sound of each piano unique. For 150 years, Steinway has attracted artists from all over the world with its unique temperament and highest quality, including classical music, electronic music, jazz music, etc. The charm it exudes is unmatched by any other kind of piano. of.

It not only represents 150 years of history, but also represents the highest level of current piano manufacturing technology. No wonder Horowitz takes his Steinway around the world. The well-known pianists such as Li Yundi and Lang Lang all use Steinway when recording. Many of the piano records we hear now are recorded with Steinway pianos. Steinway's voice sounds very agile and somewhat elegant. I think that Steinway & Sons’ current achievements are inseparable from its almost perverted quality requirements. The famous pianist Rubinstein once said: “Steinway’s voice is like The murmur of the nightingale in the storm. ” Baidu Encyclopedia Steinway Piano STEINWAY & SONS official website: / Department of Traditional Famous Family Since its founding in New York in 1853, Steinway & Sons has been manufacturing top-quality triangles and verticals. style piano as the basic purpose of the company.
