The Steinway designed Boston
Piano - long unrivaled in its class and unmatched in
value - has been significantly enhanced with the
introduction of the new Performance Edition. The Boston
Performance Edition features improvements in materials,
specifications, and performance never before seen in the
mid-price range.
A maple inner rim, found in
only the finest pianos, increases structural integrity
and improves the tone by isolating the soundboard. The
patented Octagrim™ Pinblock provides a smoother pin turn
and more consistent pin torque, leading to a more
precise tuning.
As the preferred piano of
major Music Festivals, including Aspen, Tanglewood,
Brevard, and Bowdoin, the Boston piano has received rave
reviews from prestigious music publications, as well as,
performing artists, music conservatories and piano
educators worldwide.

The
Steinway-designed Essex piano incorporates the
latest design specifications and engineering
standards from Steinway & Sons. In keeping with
Steinway's commitment to excellence, Steinway & Sons
provides technical assistance for the production of
Essex pianos, to insure that Essex pianos are made
to the specifications established by Steinway. And
every Essex instrument is inspected by a team of
highly experienced Steinway & Sons trained
technicians before it leaves the factory.
