Instruments for Advancing Students
“How well you play the piano depends very much on the piano you play.” – John Steinway
Last year, 97% of the pianists who stepped on stage with major symphonies worldwide chose to play on a piano from Steinway. A high quality upright or grand may be required to develop more advanced skills. The most important considerations when searching for a piano are…
- The quality of its design, materials and workmanship
- Dynamic range
- Sustain length
- Variations in tone color
- Tuning stability
- Even balance and touch
- Durability
- Investment potential
“The Steinway grand piano is still the very best! It's superior action and sound quality enable higher development of both technical and artistic skills. I have played 6 solo piano recitals in the last 3 years on a Steinway grand piano, and it is like playing in a dream!"
- Peter Cartwright, MA Piano Performance

High Quality Uprights
Responsiveness. Precision. Intuitive grace. A superior musical instrument can be recognized by the degree to which it allows the player to express vision without interference — with nothing standing between the fingers and the music in the air. By choosing a Steinway or Steinway-designed Boston or Essex upright, you cannot go wrong. No quality upright piano has been manufactured with the same commitment to excellence than a Steinway-designed piano.
