Episode Breakdown:
The Vault at the Steinway Headquarters
Steinway & Sons has been hand making the world’s finest pianos for 160 years. Now the brand has created The Vault, a highly secure selection room that’s reserved for only its top clientele. It showcases seven of the rarest and most highly valued instruments the company has ever built. We visited Steinway’s factory and headquarters in Queens, NYC, to witness the crafting and manufacturing process first-hand, explore about the hyper-exclusive Vault and, of course, play some very rare, grail-worthy pianos.
