The purpose of this article is to explore the life and work of Henry Steinway, one of the pioneers in building grand pianos. This company became known for their distinctively designed "Steinway & Co." brand, which was later sold off to Steinway Musical Industries in 2010. One innovation that came about while working for this company was the audio memory system, called kontakt - named after the German word for touch. Steinway started by making piano rolls - mechanical rolls without piano sounds - between 1857 and 1866 with an audio memory system that connected sounding plates to notes on a keyboard at specific times. Steinway also created a well-designed grand piano that was compact and made of hard mahogany with a distinctive patented design: the frame of this instrument was made in one piece instead of several. Records show that Steinway pianos were sold in San Francisco and later sent to China by the steamship "Pacific". Steinway's "Steinweg" brand has been sold off to Steinway Musical Industries in 2010.

Steinway set out on his own after helping build the Jansen Piano Company factory, which he had joined in 1865 after returning from military service. Steinway's new company, Steinway & Sons, had its headquarters in the same building at 82-84 Varicks Street in New York City, where Steinway designed and manufactured pianos. Steinway was not only an inventor of new instruments, but he also saw the need to help rebuild the industry after World War II. As a result, he launched the "Alfred Dolge Piano Institute" at Steinway Hall. This institute put on piano design lectures and recitals for about 50 students each year, most of whom went on to consult with or work for Steinway. These young men included Hideo Suzuki in 1960 and Takuji Kawai in 1962. Steinway also worked to help the American Music Center at Yale University, where he wrote an article entitled "Alfred Dolge's Institute of Piano Design." Steinway died in his home on Jan. 1, 1949. He is buried in Ferncliff Cemetery in Hartsdale, New York. The Steinway & Sons Steinweg (Steinway) pianos which are produced by the company today are similar to those Steinway made during his lifetime. cfa1e77820
