George Steck pianos have been instruments of distinction since their 1884 inauguration in New York City. From the earliest days of the company's history, fame and awards have been a tradition - honors such as the Gold Medal at Vienna in 1873, the Piano Award at the Philadelphia Centennial in 1876 and the 1839 Chicago Exhibit Award began the heritage of excellence that undergirds today's George Steck Company. George Steck piano's are noted for their acoustic construction techniques based on scientific principles of sound generation and maximization. A George Steck owner should well expect the high level of service and quality that the founder instilled in the company and which constitutes the operating philosophy of the company today.
