For Steinway, China has proved to be a shot in the arm. Sales increased more than 15 percent a year over the last decade, far outpacing the single-digit growth of the United States and Europe. China is now Steinwayâs largest market for pianos outside the United States, representing about one-third of global sales.
The Steinway Diaphragmatic soundboard, for example, is made of the highest grade close-grained, quarter-sawn Sitka spruce. A wood selected for its superb acoustic properties. The Steinway grand piano rim is entirely hard rock maple. In the Steinway concert grand piano, 18 laminations of this wood are bent together as on unified rim, so as to with stand 45,373 pounds of tension from the strings.
