Steinway Unveils Limited Edition Signature Series With Bruce Hornsby's Selection of Model B Grands

LONG ISLAND CITY, N.Y., Nov. 24 /PRNewswire/ -- Steinway & Sons, widely recognized as manufacturer of the finest pianos in the world, announced today the introduction of its new Limited Edition Signature Series, featuring Steinway Artist and three-time Grammy winner Bruce Hornsby. Mr. Hornsby visited the renowned Steinway factory in Long Island City, NY on November 10 to select pianos to be offered as part of the first Celebrity Signature Series.

"No two handmade Steinway pianos are the same -- each instrument has a slightly different feel, touch, sound and personality," said Todd Sanders, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for Steinway & Sons.

Each of the Steinway Model B grands selected based upon touch and tone by Mr. Hornsby, has been personalized with the artist's signature. Also included with each piano will be a Certificate of Authenticity, an autographed photo, and a signed deluxe boxed set of CDs and a DVD. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of each piano in this limited series will be donated to the National Fair Housing Alliance, one of Mr. Hornsby's favorite charities. The N.F.H.A. works to eliminate housing discrimination and to ensure equal housing opportunity for all people.

"I have 27 feet of Steinways," said Mr. Hornsby, referring to the three 9-foot long Model D grands he owns. "The sound of the Steinway is unmatched by any other piano."

Mr. Hornsby's thirteen albums have sold over 11 million copies worldwide. The title cut from The Way It Is was the most played song on American radio in 1987, winning the ASCAP "Song of the Year" award.

For information on where to view one of these limited edition pianos, contact Steinway & Sons at 718-721-2600 or your local Steinway & Sons authorized dealer.
