Steinway.[2][11] The company's growth led to the establishment of a factory in New York City and another in Hamburg, Germany.[12] The factory in Queens supplies the Americas, while the one in Hamburg caters to the rest of the world.[7][13] Steinway is often referred to as one of the "Big Four" piano manufacturers, along with C. Bechstein, Bösendorfer, and Blüthner.[14][15][16] Steinway has earned a reputation for crafting pianos of exceptional quality[19][20] and for pioneering innovations in piano development.[21][22] The company has been granted 139 patents since its inception; the first patent was awarded in 1857.[23] Steinway dominates the high-end grand piano market, holding an impressive share of over 80 percent.[24] While this position has been criticized by some musicians and writers, who argue that it stifles innovation and leads to a homogenization of sound preferred by pianists,[25][26] Steinway continues to excel. Steinway pianos have received numerous accolades, starting with a gold medal in 1855 at the American Institute Fair held at the New York Crystal Palace.[28][29] From 1855 to 1862, Steinway pianos earned an impressive 35 gold medals.[27][30] The company's European branch holds a royal warrant of appointment to Queen Elizabeth II,[33][34] and Steinway & Sons was named Company of the Year in 1996 by The Music Trades magazine.[35] In addition to its flagship Steinway piano line, Steinway markets two other brands: Boston and Essex. These lower-priced brands are designed by Steinway engineers and produced in Asia at other manufacturers' factories under the supervision of Steinway employees.[36][37] This strategy allows Steinway to offer high-quality pianos at a lower cost.
