Steinway & Sons is a piano maker, founded 1853 in New York City, with a second factory established 1880 in the city of Hamburg, Germany. Both Steinway factories have undergone great changes, and still make Steinway & Sons pianos today.

Founded by the Steinweg family of piano manufacturers, having first arrived in the United States from Germany in 1850, the company grew quickly after its founding in 1853. It was forced to move to a new premise within a year, and occupied its own factory by the early 1860s. In 1880 a Steinway Village was founded as its own town in what is now Long Island City, providing a new factory with its own foundries, post office, parks and housing for employees. Its early successes have been credited both to the high quality of its instruments as well as the brilliant marketing behind the company, including its showroom and the Steinway Hall. Steinway Street, one of the major north-south thoroughfares in the Astoria and Long Island City neighborhoods of Queens, is named after the company.

“I have been on a quest my entire life to realize my dream of developing innovative audio systems that set an unequaled standard of excellence for the industry,” says Lyngdorf.

“Through The Model-D Music System Steinway-Lyngdorf has created a new paradigm as well as a new category in the industry.”

Steinway’s Model-D Music System is powered by four 400-watt Equibit-based digital amplifiers with electronic crossovers. These will also have the Lyngdorf’s digital room Room-Perfect room acoustics correction technology, 24-bit/192 kHz upsampling of any audio source.

The price will be 150.000 USD
