	Epochtimes English Edition-
		Steinway had competition for most of its first century from several great German instrument makers such as Bechstein and Bluthner, which also are celebrating their sesquicentennials this year.
		The Steinways moved their factory in 1872 to 400 acres in the city's borough of Queens where they built a foundry to make cast-iron piano parts and a lumber mill for manufacture of the rims and sounding boards of their new best-seller, the grand piano measuring up to nine feet long.
		He defined the Steinway piano's architecture and patented the unique method of bending 17 layers of wood by means of a giant vise into the curved shape of a grand piano case.

		Steinway and Sons more or less invented the modern grand piano, a century ago, and the workings of the Steinway factory still represent a gorgeous apotheosis of nineteenth-century manufacturing technology.
		Henry Z. Steinway, a great-grandson of the founder and for many years president of the company, is the last Steinway associated with the firm.
		Steinway is unique in bending the inner and outer rims as one, the outer rim being the case you see from the outside of the piano, and the inner rim being a shorter wall that wraps around inside it that makes a shelf and supports the piano’s iron frame and soundboard.

		Steinway’s founder, Heinrich Engelhard Steinweg, was born in Wolfshagen, Lower Saxony in 1797.
		Henry was the titular head of the business, William worked as a “bellyman,” installing soundboards, Charles focused on tuning and “voicing,” and Henry Jr.

	K 2571: The Making of a Steinway Grand"
		The Steinways' masterstroke was to combine the two ideas in a new design, which also included heavier hammers to excite the heavier strings, a subtly improved action to permit control of the heavier hammers, and a repositioning of the bridge from the rear of the soundboard toward the middle.
		To compensate, the height of the keys in a new Steinway rises, gradually and imperceptibly, from the ends to the middle: the middle keys on a model D are one thirty-second of an inch higher than the keys at either end.
		Steinway's solution was the Teflon bushing, a small cylinder of hard white plastic that was virtually impermeable to moisture--too impermeable, as it turned out, for when extreme humidity changed the dimensions of the wooden parts, elongating the holes into which the bushings were set, the Teflon, unlike cloth, did not expand to fill the holes.
