 Steinway No.500.000 (New York 1988) |
"In 1988 Steinway & Sons made their 500,000th piano, making a milestone in the history of
musical instruments. The piano was built by the Steinway factory in New York with some participation from the Hamburg Steinway
factory. The 500,000th Steinway was designed by artist Wendell Castle and was named "The grand of the artists".
Several hundred Steinway Artists signed the piano with their names, including Vladimir Horowitz and Elton John. It is still on its concert tour around the world. By 1900, both Steinway factories produced more than 3,500 pianos a year, finding their place in many concert halls, schools, and private homes across the world. In 1857 Steinway began to produce a line of highly lucrative art case pianos, designed by well-known artists, which became popular among the rich and famous.
These pianos today sell for vast sums of money in auctions around the
world. In 1903 the 100,000th Steinway grand piano was given as a gift to the White House. This was replaced in 1938 by the
300,000th, which remains in the White House to this day."
