I'm excited to share this video below, which is an immersive discussion by Fanny Schmidt-Steingraeber, who is the 7th generation family, and now head of the Company!
As some may recall, I earmarked my trip in Germany May 2024 (you can read about it here), to visit Bayreuth, to their factory. And it was an experience to behold - from the pianos themselves, to the factory tour, to the Steingraeber house/palace.
In the video below, you get to hear Fanny discuss the legacy of the pianos; the production; and some cool explanations of the different parts of the house, which feels like a secret museum.
I went to their house four days in a row, and spent several nights playing their pianos with my wife. It was magical, as we did a duet, with both of us on a pair of D-232s!
This is one of the more thoughtful videos I've seen from a manufacturer. We spoke with Fanny for several hours, and she is incredibly authentic (as are their entire family).
I hope you have the time to see this video from end to end!
