Discover what makes Steinway grand pianos unique

3 hours Max 10 peopleFree

This exclusive guided tour will take you behind the scenes of the historical Steinway & Sons Hamburg premises, which were originally established in 1888. Follow the piano builders at work and discover how more than 12,000 individual components are combined into an instrument of incomparable sound. The whole process starts from the selection of the finest woods, which are left to dry for two years in the lumberyard. Find out why every grand piano needs an iron plate, what goes into attaching the strings, and all the fascinating details behind the regulation of the mechanics and the voicing of a grand piano.
