We seek to rediscover the art of the piano as the composer heard it on the instruments of the time;  to collect and study the instruments themselves, conserving many for history, and performing on many, so we might rediscover history’s magic.  We exhibit and curate instruments, tell the great stories of piano and society, and study the history of the piano, its technology and its builders.

First designed in ca. 1864 in Germany by Theodore Steinway, it continued in Braunschweig after ownership transferred to Grotrian, until the 1890s.  It is also the basis for the 6’8” NY Monitor Grand (Style 1, 1872 to 1878) and the current Steinway “B” grand.  It is the earliest Steinway design to have a design descendant in the present.
