In 1836, a German piano maker created his first piano in the kitchen of Heinrich Engelhard Steinweg's home in Seesen. In the May of 1850, following a thirty-day trip, he arrived in America with his wife and seven children. Three years later, he changed his name to Henry E. Steinway and together with his sons founded the piano factory whose instruments are nowadays used by world-class artists, and one of them has been on the stage of Óbudai Társaskör since November last year.

Our performing artists always enjoy playing this Steinway D-model piano. In our new series, we have asked five artists to play on the black and white keys. With the help of Ilona Prunyi, Emese Mali, Ádám Balogh, Tamás Érdi and Zoltán Fejérvári we pay tribute to the 165-year-old Steinway factory.
