When you first touch the keys of a Steinway Boston piano, be prepared to experience an entirely new sensation. Unexpected power suddenly fills the room. You immediately notice the rich fullness of the sound. The keys respond almost intuitively to your fingers. But, because it was designed to take advantage of the efficiencies of high technology manufacturing, the Steinway Boston is also remarkably affordable. It's understandable that no piano in modern history has ever made itself heard so immediately, or so dramatically.

 

Even a beginner  can clearly hear the difference in a Boston piano. The sound is so full and beautifully balanced, with a long sustain. Boston's duplex scale, adapted from the famous Steinway design, adds a harmonic richness of tone that simply cannot be duplicated.

 

The Steinway Boston's reduced string tension allows a larger, tapered soundboard, creating longer sustain, and more singing quality in the tone, as well as longer piano life. A wealth of other engineering enhancements, including optimum placement of braces, ribs, and bridges, also contributes to the superior tone. Every Boston has Steinway-designed, pear-shaped hammers and bass strings wound in solid copper.

 

The keys of a Steinway Boston piano seem to respond intuitively to the touch. This heightened level of control distinguishes the finest musical instruments. And it's the direct result of the unique 'action' designed by Steinway & Sons, an elegantly complex mechanism that assures nothing is lost in the translation from fingertips, to keys, to hammers, to strings. Steinway Boston action parts are 100% wood, not plastic, and provide an extraordinary level of sensitivity. You have the freedom of expression to play as softly, as loudly, or as quickly as you wish.

 

The attention to detail devoted to the Steinway Boston piano is meant to please the eye as well as the ear. Pedals and casters are solid cast brass and while these features don't add to the Steinway Boston's performance, they certainly add to its beauty, quality and value.
