Frequently Asked Questions
Is Essex a real Steinway?
Essex pianos are designed by Steinway & Sons and incorporate Steinway acoustic and design principles, but are manufactured by Pearl River in China rather than at Steinway's New York or Hamburg factories. They sit below Boston (made by Kawai) and the Steinway brand itself in quality and price.
