Boston and Essex are piano brands that have gained worldwide recognition for their quality, and innovation. Both brands have unique origins and philosophies that set them apart from their competitors. With strong links to the legendary piano manufacturer, Steinway & Sons<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Boston: Synonymous with modernity and precision<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"Boston<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Pianos with the Boston logo appeared on the market in 1992. The brand was established to offer pianos and grand pianos with a high quality of sound and workmanship. That would be available at a more affordable price than those signed with the Steinway logo<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the time, Steinway was under the management of a financial company in Waltham, Massachusetts, whose management planned to call the new series of instruments just 'Waltham'. However, they mistakenly decided on 'Boston', believing this name to be more internationally recognisable.<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Boston grand pianos<\/a> were designed by Steinway engineers and reflect the technological sophistication and precision for which Steinway is known. Boston pianos<\/a> and grand pianos are manufactured in Japan by Kawai<\/a>, one of the world’s most renowned instrument manufacturers. This combination of American design and Japanese precision makes Boston instruments unique in terms of quality and reliability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
