Description
American Pianos built between ~1900 – 1930 are often referred to as “Golden Era” piano due to the height of popularity of the piano among artists, orchestras, American homeowners, and due to the highly competitive nature within the piano manufacturers of the day. Steinway rose to prominence during this era, owing to their innovations, overall performance, and appeal to top performers of the day. Steinway historians also point to the quality of the craftsmanship and key materials available during that era of production that tends to give these instruments just that little extra, intangible qualities that made them iconic.
