Alone among the big piano companies, Steinway still crafts all of its pianos largely by hand, imbuing each one with the promise and burden of its brand. Journalist and amateur pianist Barron of The New York Times tells the story of one Steinway piano, from raw lumber to finished instrument. He follows it on its eleven-month journey through the Steinway factory, where time-honored manufacturing methods vie with modern-day industrial efficiency. He looks over the shoulders of men and women--some second- and third-generation employees, some recently arrived immigrants--who transform wood and steel into a concert grand. Barron also explores the art and science of developing a piano's timbre and character before its first performance, when the essential question will be answered: Does K0862 live up to the Steinway legend?--From publisher description. 000343247 61020 $$aSteinway & Sons. 000343247 650_0 $$aSteinway piano$$xConstruction. 000343247 650_0 $$aPiano makers$$zNew York (State)$$zNew York$$xHistory. 000343247 85200 $$bgen$$hML661.8.N7$$iB37$$i2006 000343247 85642 $$3Contributor biographical information$$uhttp://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0626/2005057172-b.html 000343247 85642 $$3Publisher description$$uhttp://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0626/2005057172-d.html 000343247 85641 $$3Sample text$$uhttp://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0665/2005057172-s.html 000343247 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:343247$$pGLOBAL_SET 000343247 980__ $$aBIB 000343247 980__ $$aBOOK
