Each Steinway piano begins as raw
lumber. Wood buyers search the globe for
what they call “Steinway-grade” wood,
gathering the finest spruce from the Pacific
Northwest, oak and maple from the
Northeast, mahogany from Central and
South America, and East Indian rosewood
from southern India and Sri Lanka. Much of
the wood is cured for months outside in
the lumberyard at the factory in Queens, N.
Y., and then inside, in computer-controlled
kilns and conditioning rooms, until it
stabilizes at a certain predetermined
moisture content.
