A Difference You can Sense as well as Feel
A piano is a very tactile creation. One can almost feel the music through the keys. And the superior instrument has both exquisite sensitivity and precision literally built into it.
In the case of a Steinway piano superiority is not a judgment call, but a matter of fact. Touch any key repeatedly, and you will marvel at the quickness with which the notes can be sounded.
You enjoy this crucial advantage because of Steinway's patented Accelerated® action. Each key on a Steinway pivots on a rounded rather than a flat bearing. And each is "weighed-off," or balanced, by hand. The result — the most responsive action in the world.
As you consider which piano to purchase, you owe it to yourself to sit down and test the touch of a Steinway. It will be effortless, noiseless and instantly responsive. You will be able to trill and repeat notes cleanly, as fast as your fingers can move.
Steinway holds 115 patents affecting virtually every one of the 12,000 parts which go into each piano. These innovations have defined the art of piano building for over 140 years — so much so that nine out of ten of all the world's performing artists insist on the touch of a Steinway.
