- From the lumberyard to the Elbphilharmonie stage. We took @NahreSol to the large Steinway factory in Hamburg and took a look at the process of creating a concert grand piano.

ELBPHILHARMONIE HAMBURG
At the Elbphilharmonie, architecture and music merge to create a unique overall experience. Having first opened its doors in 2017, it has firmly established itself as one of the most popular concert halls in the world, delighting a broad audience with its diverse programme, outstanding acoustics and numerous participatory activities. The building, a converted warehouse positioned on the Elbe River, was designed by the Swiss architects Herzog & de Meuron. As a Hamburg landmark, it attracts millions of visitors each year.

I think it's a genius move by Elbphilharmonie to hire Nahre for this kind of job. 👍
so happy and thankful for it!
Great Video, thanks to the wonderful Thomas for explaining it so well and working so hard!
Thank you for this highly interesting journey!! Awesome!
So interesting, good one Narhe!👌
Beautiful
You could record a four hour video in that selection room and people would watch and listen to it multiple times. It would be FASCINATING to be able to compare the sound differences between models as played by the same performer. It would also be fascinating to hear you explain as the performer how slight variations in each design's response feeds back into you as the performer.
Nice one, thank you Thomas ✊🏻
LOve it. I'll NEVER be able to afford anything like it but fascinating to see the build process. Thanks!
Thank you Nahre for sharing this incredible process!
Astounding! Beautifully done and showcased by Nahre. Thank you!
Brilliant ! Loved it
Wow! This is kind of mind boggling. Thanks for showing us this Nahre. 😊
That was really cool
She has a lot of fans on CZcams.
That is super cool to know the intense labor that goes into creating a beautiful piece of music sound 🎹 thx Nahre like always to make this short doc on how the Steinway is created, looking forward with more of ur vids, there all super great 👍
Excellent. I appreciate the tour and behind the scenes info
Thank you Nahre, I've often watched videos on manufacturing piano's but it's always interesting to see a another one. Especially ofcourse of such a brand like Steinway. I still want to visit the Elbphilharmonie, (watched your video 👍👍 on that too)
Congratulations.. Very, very good piano video.. from Brazil..
The glue 'perlleim' is a little smelly, but rather ingenious stuff for traditional woodmaking.
Huge benefit: it's almost infinite repairable. with some water, a little heat and time, unlike modern glues.
I would love to be a piano technician
Loved hearing you play pieces from Alice in Wonderland, Nahre!
10:39 Welches ist zweite?
Pretty cool. You people of education systems sure do know your stuff.
If not for stimulation where oh where would we be?
Thank you. 🙂

15 D´s!
Some days I don't know if I want to be like my college piano teacher or like Thomas
very interesting! But why this annoying background music, you feel like in a department store
2:51 Not changing the shape seems really weird to me. Today we have advanced computer simulation tools to optimise shapes. Why shy away from innovation and stick to tradition? Companies that run this way will still exist in a decade, but they won't stand the test of time.
Thanks for showing the production of these beautiful instruments!
I’m sure they ran the simulations 😉 However, this way of thinking doesn’t really apply to music/arts in general. This shape is responsible for the trademark sound and tonal feel of these Pianos. Changing that arbitrarily to “improve the sound” would just mean destroying the one thing people love about Steinway Pianos. It’s not about efficiency or the “cleanest” sound possible in this case.
Take analog synthesizers for example. Yes, digital synthesis (technological innovation) can and does provide a cleaner sound, but as it turns out, people actually love the warm feel of the tonal/pitch imperfections analog synthesizers produce. Which is why even today, 1980s analog synths are incredibly sought after.
You underestimate the power of tradition and in a craft like classical music atitudes are especially hard to change. How will you sell differently shaped pianos to people who trained on the traditional shape and are used to its response? And who buys a grand piano when just starting out?
Hm, people have tried quite a few different shapes, see for example the book "Historical Pianos" Harpsichords & Clavichords by N. E. Michel. I suppose the existence of synthesizers has probably taken away a lot of the interesting in making experimental pianos.
