 Features and Benefits

Boston uprights offer the same standards of excellence which characterize all instruments designed by Steinway & Sons. A Boston upright will give you the same opportunities to express your musical skill as a grand.
The Boston piano features a 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. 

Why Choose Boston?

In comparison to other pianos, the Boston has less string tension. This reduced string tension allows for a larger, tapered soundboard, creating longer sustain, and more singing quality in the tone (as well as longer piano life). A wealth of other engineering enhancements, including optimal placement of ribs, braces, and bridges, also contribute to the Boston’s superior tone and greater stability.

Boston's Sound Board!

Each Boston piano soundboard is crafted of Sitka spruce, long proven to be the most resonant material avaliable Boston soundboards are also precisely tapered, which allows them to vibrate more freely. In conjunction with a number of special technologies — unique patents of Steinway & Sons — the result is a powerful, sustained tone.

 Tips from TheISher

Does playing the piano help you build skills for other activities? 

That’s a very interesting concept. My favorite part of playing the piano is the coordination of your hands and feet. I can easily control my left and right hand separately, because of obvious reasons. But for my feet coordination, I can control them both separately because I’m used to using my right feet for the pedal, and my left feet for keeping beat. So in a sense, it’s like my hands and feet have their own “brain” that can be controlled separately. It’s quite a nice feature to have.

With that said, a GREAT advantage of playing the piano is that the coordination is great for video games. The control of each finger and the hand-eye coordination skill really shows its upper hand in online gaming. The faster your hands can react to what you see, the more kills you will get. Trust me.

Another game that I like and benefit from playing piano is Gran Turismo 5. I have my own driving cockpit at home, and I had absolutely no problem using the clutch and manual stick shift for the first time. I’m sure if I start to drive regularly in real life, it’ll be a no-brainer as well.
