Virtually all critical design elements of the Steinway 'D' were developed during the 19th century. Among them are the action and string scale designs perfected by Henry Steinway, Jr., the ] son; the hammers, cast iron frame and laminated wooden rim, all originating in designs patented by C.F. Theodor Steinway, another of the founder's sons; the trapwork (pedals), first devised by Albert Steinway, a third son; and most aspects of the ]. Since those early years, only two notable improvements have been made: a concentric shaping of the soundboard, a design patented by younger family member Paul Bilhuber, was introduced in 1936; more recently the Steinway action was changed to provide a greater mechanical advantage to the player, resulting in less touch resistance with no loss of power.<ref name=NYT></ref> |

Even before the German-born family emigrated to the United States, the founder, ], had built a grand piano in 1836 (the so-called "kitchen grand"), which today is preserved at the ] in New York City. Such grand pianos with a limited ] of 6 or 6.5 octaves and double ] produce less volume of sound than a D-type concert grand piano.<ref name=ratcliffe>Ronald V. Ratcliffe: ''Steinway.''

Concert grand pianos of full size are able to fill a concert hall with sound for 2,000 to 3,000 spectators. This was foreshadowed in the 1860s when grand pianos were given harps or frames of ]. Initially employed to accommodate the cumulative and extraordinary tension of the strings, thereby protecting the wooden structure from destruction, iron frames quickly facilitated a dramatic increase in string tension. With increased string tension came increased power and projection. |
|
|
|
|
|
At the 1876 ] in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, there were several manufacturer's competitions, including a piano competition. The Steinway company sent two grand pianos displaying their latest developments, demonstrating the firm's innovative and markedly improved piano quality.<ref name=ratcliffe /> Their determined pursuit of quality was rewarded at the world exhibition with a gold medal. Steinway won the competition against several established, well-known American piano makers, including ] and ]. |
|
|
|
|
|
This Steinway concert grand piano, the direct predecessor of today's Model 'D', has become known as the "Centennial grand". It remained in production until 1878, when improvements prompted the Steinways to re-designate their models, replacing numeric designations (Types 1 through 4) with Model letters, i.e., A, B, C and D. These letters still mark the types of Steinway's four largest instruments. |
|
|
|
|
|
This was a time of remarkable advance: |
|
|
|
|
|
*The open pinblock was discarded in favor of the full frame. |
|
|
:Always mindful of production as well as excellence, Steinway realized that covering the pinblock with the plate would save manufacturing costs. Open blocks had necessitated multiple levels (to account for the height difference between the bass and treble bridges), whereas this disparity could be easily compensated for in the full frame casting. Further, the pinblock was no longer visible and as such needed no cosmetic treatment such as an attractive veneer. |
|
|
|
|
|
*The capo d'astro bar displaced agraffes in the upper treble sections. |
|
|
:While agraffes continue to be used in the bass, tenor and lower treble of modern instruments, earlier pianos also employed them in the upper treble. The massively cast capo bar, an integral part of the plate, greatly enhanced the clarity and power of the upper treble |
|
|
|
|
|
*The pedal lyre was strengthened dramatically, and the pedals redesigned as a self-contained unit. |
|
|
:Pedaling became more reliable and precise, and withstood violent pedaling that often accompanies violent playing. |
|
|
|
|
|
*String lengths and tensions increased dramatically, and hammers were made heavier and employed denser felt. |
|
|
:These and other improvements remarkably enhanced the performance, power and brilliance of the new Steinway 'D', enabling it to fill ever-expanding concert venues with sufficient sound. |

In 1880, Steinway began producing their small Model 'A' with a laminated ] cabinet, creating the modern "rim" case: Very long, thin (3.5 mm) planks of maple were slathered with hide glue, bent around a form, clamped together and allowed to dry. This process made rim fabrication quicker, and the resultant structure stronger and more stable. It also was cheaper, requiring fewer man-hours and being less wasteful of hardwoods that need several years of storage and precise ]. This speedier production method was of great advantage in a time of huge demand for good pianos. |
|
|
|
|
|
After the concert success of an 1883 prototype 'D'<ref>http://lidstrompiano.com/'D'%2047562.htm</ref> that featured a laminated case, radically higher string tension and capo bar (which began at note 36 yet retained vestigial agraffes all the way to note 88), Steinway unveiled the 1884 'D', a fully realized new model with a redesigned scale (including a 20-note instead of a 17-note bass), a capo bar in both upper treble sections, a newly designed pedal lyre, and a multi-laminated case.<ref name=barron>James Barron: ''Piano - The Making of a Steinway Concert Grand.'' Times Books, New York 2006, ISBN 978-0-8050-7878-7.</ref> |
|
|
|
|
|
In subsequent years few changes occurred, though the instrument's length increased slightly (the "rim type" D concert grand pianos from 1884 to about 1895 were only 272 cm long). However, in 1936 a ] based on a patent of Paul Bilhuber, an "in-law" member of the Steinway family, was introduced. Bilhuber had created a soundboard that tapered evenly from the thickest central point to a thinner perimeter, and it was judged to provide greater response and longevity. |
|
|
|
|
|
Not all Steinway innovations were successful. In 1961, ] bushings for the playing mechanism were incorporated into U.S.-built grand pianos – a modification that the piano makers at the ] branch did not adopt despite much pressure from the New York-based company. They were able to resist only because the profits of the Hamburg plant were greater than those of the New York factory. |
|
|
|
|
|
The Teflon bushings were intended to lessen friction problems that might occur because of seasonal humidity changes, but they themselves caused excessive friction. Further, because they were a hard and dimensionally stable substance (fixed into wood, which is not), at certain times of the year they would loosen in their holes and cause clicking during play. After years of complaints from pianists and technicians, in 1982 the New York makers re-introduced the classic ] bushings with an infused dry-grease fluid made with Teflon particles that allowed them to keep using the word Teflon in their advertising.<ref>Susan Goldenberg: ''Steinway - From Glory to Controversy - The Family - The Business - The Piano.'' Mosaic Press, Oakville (Ontario, CDN) 1996, ISBN 0-88962-607-3.</ref> |

|
The Steinway Model 'D' represents about 5% of all Steinway grand pianos produced, a significantly larger share of concert-grand output than the 1-2% that other manufacturers produce. An explanation is found not only in their exceptional quality but in their sophisticated marketing programs – the ] program and the ] in New York City, London, and Hamburg have virtually guaranteed the loyalty of concert artists worldwide. On U.S. stages, more than 90% of performances using a concert grand use a Steinway 'D'. |
|
|
|
|
|
Of the approximately 600,000 pianos Steinway has built (as of 2010), about 25,000 are Models 'D'. Only 424 of the predecessor "Centennial D" pianos were built; about 30 are still known to exist.<ref></ref> |

Steinway manufactures the 'D' in two factories, one in New York and one in Hamburg, Germany. Outwardly, New York and Hamburg 'D's differ most noticeably in finish, with the former displaying traditional satin lacquer and the latter high-gloss polyester.<ref name=Allen></ref> Differences in the respective instruments' tone and playing character, however, have led particular pianists to gravitate to the output of one factory or the other; ], for instance, preferred a New York 'D', whereas ], ], ], ], ], ], ] and ] were partial to the Hamburg product. Garrick Ohlsson preferred the brilliance of the Hamburg instrument in his youth, but the warmth of the New York 'D' as he matured. ] bought three 'D's, all New York products, for his homes in the United States, but he installed a Hamburg 'D' in his Swiss villa. The difference between the New York and Hamburg Steinway pianos is less noticeable today.<ref name="Barron"/> Pianist and ] ] says that "... the differences have more to do with individual instruments than with where they were made."<ref name="Barron">, ''The New York Times'', August 27, 2003. Accessed March 25, 2010.</ref> |

Several artists have developed documented association with particular 'D's. Examples would include the following: |
|
|
*] recorded all his sessions for ] in New York on 'D' SN 147,681 and SN 194,597.<ref name=Rachmaninoff></ref> When Zenph Studios undertook to recreate those recordings through modern computer playback technology, the company chose a 1909 'D', SN 133,291, as the underlying instrument; the restored piano is prominently featured at the company's Internet site.<ref name=Zenph></ref> |
|
|
*] favored a 'D' that he called "Beauty." When the instrument became unserviceably worn, he retained piano technician ] to rebuild it completely.<ref name=Pramberger></ref> |
|
|
*] maintained a well-known preference for CD (Concert 'D') number 318-C (SN 317,194) that he found, much worn and awaiting shipment back to the factory for decommissioning, in the auditorium of a Toronto department store in 1946. He retained technician Verne Edquist to restore and maintain the instrument and had it shipped to any auditorium in which he was to play. The piano sustained a cracked plate during such a shipment in 1971, when Gould had scheduled a recording session with the Cleveland orchestra; for years thereafter, Edquist attempted to repair the damage, and his inability to do so was a source of great distress to Gould.<ref name=CanEncy></ref> The CD 318-C still exists in its damaged state, preserved at ] in Ottawa, which also houses the Glenn Gould Archive.<ref name=CanEncy2></ref> |

*To circumvent company policy that would have compelled her to record on a smaller instrument, ] purchased a 'D' on which to make her recordings for Victor late in the acoustic era.

== Popular accounts of manufacture == |
|
|
At least three independent accounts have detailed the process by which Steinway manufactures the D-274. In 1982, Michael Lenehan published an article in '']'' in which he followed the construction of a D-274, designated as K 2571 during manufacture and later, after its adoption into the piano bank program, as CD-129. A somewhat revised version of the article posted to the Internet includes information updated in 1997. The original article, dating to approximately the time of the company's sale to CBS, described many practices held over from the 19th century, mostly personalized by focusing on individual employees tasked with performing them, but it also touched on what then were prospective changes under consideration to modernize certain aspects of production. The 1997 update continues that approach, updating the various personal stories but also detailing the company's subsequent ownership history and adoption of selected new production methods.<ref name=Lenehan/> |
