I posted this before on NFCF, but there is a great story concerning the Steinway piano.
Henry Steinway is now 91 years old, and was once the president and CEO of Steinway.
He tells the story that when he was just a lad in the 1920's, he heard folks say that Steinway pianos were made better in the late 1800's.
When he become president around 1950, folks were saying that Steinways made in the 1920's were the best.
When he sold the company in 1980s, folks were saying that the 1950's era Steinways were the best!
In each case it was the 30 years before current time that things were at their best!
The truth is that today's Steinways are the best because they use modern technology to make them even more precise in manufacturing. They are still hand made, but they are constantly coming up with new and better ways to build them.
I still hear folks say that the old Steinways are better than the new ones!
