Steinway. The company's rapid growth led to the opening of a factory in New York City, United States, and later a factory in Hamburg, Germany. The factory in Queens supplies the Americas, while the factory in Hamburg supplies the rest of the world. Steinway is frequently referred to as one of the "Big Four" piano manufacturers, alongside C. Bechstein, Bösendorfer, and Blüthner. Steinway has been described as a prominent piano company known for making high-quality pianos and for inventions in piano development. The company has been granted 139 patents in piano making since its inception in 1857. Steinway's share of the high-end grand piano market consistently exceeds 80 percent, which has led to criticism that it has blocked innovation and led to a homogenization of the sound favored by pianists. Steinway pianos have received numerous awards, including a gold medal in 1855 at the American Institute Fair at the New York Crystal Palace. From 1855 to 1862, Steinway pianos received 35 gold medals, and more awards and recognitions followed, including three medals at the International Exposition of 1867 in Paris. The European part of the company holds a royal warrant of appointment to Queen Elizabeth II, and Steinway & Sons was named Company of the Year in 1996 by The Music Trades magazine for its overall performance, quality, value-added products, and well-executed promotional program. In addition to the flagship Steinway piano line, Steinway markets two other brands of piano sold under the secondary brand names Boston and Essex, designed by Steinway engineers and produced in Asia at other piano makers' factories under the supervision of Steinway employees.
