Designed by Steinway & Sons in collaboration with renowned furniture designer William Faber, Essex furniture has been created in the spirit of the Steinway heritage as a tribute to the idea that beautiful piano styles and finishes can and should be possible in every price range.

Essex pianos are designed and engineered in New York by Steinway & Sons and made in China at the Pearl River factory.

Is Steinway Essex good?
“Is the Essex a good piano?” The answer is clear: thanks to its Steinway design, the Essex is, quite simply, the best piano available in its price range today.
* Essex piano soundboards are high quality solid spruce – comparable to the best pianos built in Japan and most high priced European pianos – with the added benefit of a taper. This is similar to how a Steinway soundboard is made. Tapered boards are always higher quality boards and are never laminated.
