Recently, a good friend of mine asked me, "What's your favorite part about working in the piano department at West Music?" My answer simply was, "Helping people find the perfect instrument that will forever change their lives!" A piano purchase is just that - it is a spiritual, emotional, and life-changing investment that will last generations! Many of my customers who have purchased pianos from our West Music Quad Cities store in Moline now consider their piano to be a member of the family!

When people come to our store looking for their perfect piano, one thing we are always excited to tell them is that they've arrived to the exclusive Quad Cities area location of where they can invest in the most recognizable name in musical instruments - Steinway & Sons. The Steinway piano is the finest piano in the world, and the piano by which all others are judged! These beautiful hand-crafted instruments are built right here in the United States, and an astounding 98% of the world's concert pianists play a Steinway & Sons piano!

However, I always get questions about the phrase, "Family of Steinway-Designed Pianos". I am often asked, "Does Steinway makes other piano brands?" The answer is YES! There are two other brands that are affiliated with the world-famous Steinway pianos - Boston and Essex. So what does "Steinway-designed" mean? It means that the Boston and Essex pianos contain many of the innovative features and specifications that have made the Steinway & Sons pianos the finest in the world! For example, the Boston pianos feature the duplex scale, adapted from the famous Steinway & Sons design, which adds a harmonic richness that simply can't be duplicated by other instruments in a similar price range. Both Boston and Essex incorporate the latest design and engineering enhancements from Steinway's dedicated research and development team.

Whether it is a piano for the home, church, business, school, college/university, or a performing arts center, an instrument from the Family of Steinway-Designed Pianos is the perfect instrument for your needs. In the video below, you will hear first-hand testimonials of the incredible impact of investing in a Steinway-Designed Piano.
