Twin Pianos from Across the Ocean
New York and Hamburg Steinway pianos are very much like twin siblings that share strong family traits but exhibit subtle differences in their personalities.
These differences can be attributed in part to the variations in hammer construction and voicing techniques utilized in both production facilities.
Proprietary procedures in soundboard fabrication and installation unique to each factory also flavor the nuanced tonal distinctions between Hamburg and New York Steinway pianos.
Both use soundboards that are constructed from carefully selected premium Sitka spruce wood.
State-of-the-Art Technology
The New York Steinway Model D for Pianoteq is a virtual replica of the very first unit of Steinway's groundbreaking flagship instrument Spirio | r, which has been used by some of the most famous pianists in the world today.
The physical model is based on recordings made at the prestigious New York Steinway Hall.
Both pianos from this pack are being refined continuously as the technology behind Pianoteq progresses.
