About the event:
The Steinway Piano Factory in Queens is one of only two factories in the world that produce the company’s highly acclaimed pianos. At this sprawling outpost in Queens, 250 workers meticulously handcraft world-class instruments using methods that have been employed since the 1870s along with innovative new manufacturing processes that have been discovered over the past two centuries.
On this tour, you’ll get a behind-the-scenes look at what goes into making a Steinway. Insiders will also be treated to a rare peek into the off-limits piano vault. Only four people in the company have access to the vault with a biometric scanner! Insider, you’ll find the most rare and unique pianos set up in custom displays.
