Steinway & Sons’ trustees meet at William Steinway’s Gramercy Park home. The subject: sale of Hamburg Steinway Pianofabrik to Steinway & Sons. The nephews finally agree with William Steinway to buy the Hamburg plant. Henry W.T. Steinway is present at the meeting, but, not being a Steinway & Sons trustee, has no say in the final decision.
