GRAND PIANOS

The introduction of the Essex instruments “designed by Steinway & Sons” in 2006 rounded out the Steinway family. The use of carefully chosen materials and state-of-the-art production processes saw the creation of grands and uprights featuring a high level of musical performance at an attractive price. In meeting this challenge, the specialists at Steinway developed outstanding entry-level instruments that incorporate all the latest design specifications and a variety of Steinway-patented features.

Designed by Steinway & Sons in collaboration with renowned furniture designer William Faber, the Essex has been created as a tribute to the idea that beautiful piano styles and finishes can and should be possible in every price range. With elegant traditional styling and museum-quality finishes, Essex will be a stunning addition to your home. They are perfect for the beginner and also particularly suitable for piano teachers. And it is available in an array of models, sizes, and veneers to fit every décor and every lifestyle.

UPRIGHT PIANOS

Completely designed by Steinway & Sons, Essex upright pianos are offered in a stunning array of sizes, styles, and finishes. Though they have many different looks, what they all have in common is extremely important. First, they all produce a tone that is reminiscent of their Steinway design—a tone that is superior to what is typically expected from a upright piano—due in part to the innovative design of the solid-spruce soundboard that is found in every model. Second, they feature a keyboard that is extremely responsive: again, due to the geometry of the Steinway-designed, all-wood action. And third, these pianos are built to last … as vividly demonstrated by their massive, staggered backposts which are placed precisely where they need to be placed in order to most effectively handle the tremendous tensions that are found on any acoustic piano.
