Steinway's are gorgeous handmade instruments that take a year to create. Each Steinway has it's own character and distinctive sound. They are only made in two places in the world, New York and Hamburg, Germany.

Steinway B

I'd never seen the keyboard completely removed from the piano frame before. I love that you can see the handmade details and numbering on the Steinway.
