Hi all, at first one "report" from this page: Made in America - Steinway Pianos
November 21st, 2009 at 12:00pm Bob Trojan
Last Thursday, my wife and I took my 11 year old grandson and his Mom to see Emily Bear, the 8 year old piano playing sensation of Rockford, perform at Mendelssohn Club. Before she performed, Steinway representatives played a movie about the making of a 9 foot Steinway piano.
Located in New York, the hand craftsmanship of piano making is truly an art. Taking one year from logging and cutting the wood, to all the steps of forming, cutting, shaping, installing keys and strings and the several steps of tuning makes this truly one of America’s pride and joy. The movie is being shown around the world, mainly at film festivals but will be viewing on national TV in coming months.
And the “frosting on the cake” was Emily played the very piano, #L1037. What a great performance! She is one of Rockford’s jewels. The picture I took of her and my grandson will be in his memory for many years.Petee
