1963

  • Steinway & Sons share of the nation grand piano market is 28% (4% higher than in 1958), another indication of success of Henry Z. Steinway presidency.
  • Steinway & Sons builds 1,650 upright pianos, 113 more than in 1961.
  • Steinway & Sons in America is suddenly unable to fulfill the increasing demand for pianos; out of 31 different Steinway & Sons piano models most are on back-order: the diminished space of the consolidated Riker factory is not sufficient enough for the necessary production volume.
