Listen to the The Bowery Boys Podcast on the History of the Steinway Family @whitehouse @mfgday #MFGDay16
Episode #92 from the supremely enjoyable New York City history Podcast The Bowery Boys, details the history of the Steinway family, the great piano manufacturers.
Henry Steinway, a German immigrant who came to New York in 1850, made his name in various showrooms and factories in downtown Manhattan, enticing the wealthy with his award-winning quality pianos. At their grand Steinway Hall on 14th Street, the family turned a popular concert venue into a clever marketing opportunity. But their ultimate fate would lie outside of Manhattan; the Steinways would graduate from an innovative factory on Park Avenue to their very own company village in Queens, the basis of a neighborhood which still bears their name today.
