During World War II, Steinway Produced Special Pianos for American Troops

Steinway proceeded to make over 3,000 “Victory Vertical” pianos designed specifically for troops in battle between 1941 and 1953. The wagon contained a light system and a Steinway piano. The pianos provided an excellent camaraderie and created a strong appreciation on the battlefield for not only the music, but the Steinway name.
