Additionally, they’re displaying new models in their Kayserburg piano line, namely the GH160 grand and uprights, KA6X and KX2T. While there have been “teasers” over the last few years at the NAMM show, this year represents the formal unveiling into the US market. Pearl River is officially launching their prestigious Kayserburg line of pianos. The woods are globally sourced and must be seen in person to be fully appreciated.” These are show-stopping statement pianos, hand-crafted in our New York factory with the same painstaking attention to detail that Steinway has been known for since 1853. Says the Co-President of Steinway, Gavin English, “The Crown Jewel Collection is one of the most visually stunning group of Steinways to be launched in recent decades. Trendy, more modern veneers are being used and include African Pommele, Amber Wood, East Indian Rosewood, Figured Sycamore, Kewazinga Bubinga, Koa, Indian Apple, Macassar Ebony, Padauk, Santos Rosewood, Tiger Mahogany, Traditional Mahogany, Walnut, and Ziricote. This proprietary finish provides a depth of color and sheen that makes the exotic woods even more lustrous. Historically the Crown Jewel collection has been finished in satin but with the new DiamondGloss finish, the collection has become incredibly eye-catching. The Crown Jewel collection was first introduced more than 2 decades ago. Steinway has re-launched the Crown Jewel collection with a new finish called the DiamondGloss finish. Check out our article entitled “ A Few Words With Paolo Fazioli“. As part of the celebrations, they released a book entitled “From the Dream to the Sound” that details the pathway of Paolo Fazioli in fulfilling this dream with much success 40 years later. Established in 1982, Paolo Fazioli embarked on a journey to build high-end pianos in Italy. Fazioli Piano just celebrated their 40th anniversary! Congrats to the entire team on this milestone. This has set about price increases in the last year as well.Ģ022 has also been a time of regrouping and direction setting for manufacturers and so I thought it seemed like a perfect time to check in and see what’s new. To add insult to injury, shipping containers that transport pianos from one end of the planet to another have all but tripled in cost. Today, the wheels of manufacturing are moving and this seems promising but simultaneously, there is a small mountain of back orders yet be filled. With workplaces scaling back due to precautionary measures during Covid and supply chain problems as well, it has become arduous. But in recent months, several companies have been finding it difficult to fulfill orders. When Covid struck in 2020, the general public spent a lot of time at home and there seemed to be a collective thought, “I should take up the piano again”. Demand remains strong for purchasing pianos but piano makers have faced difficulties supplying product. Like many industries, piano retail and manufacturing have had challenges during the 2021/2022 years.
