William Steinway’s diary: “St+S. NewYork shipped 2513 pianos from their N.Y. Warerooms during 1892 viz 856 Grands and Uprights (1657) and Cablegram from Hamburg states they shipped 300 Grands and 244 Uprights viz 544 in all, being 4 more than for 1891. and 34 more in N.Y. than 1891 We had therefore in a total of 3,057 pianos the greatest year since our business existence.” (This business record will not be exceeded by Steinway & Sons in the XIX century.)
