Craft & Science

First and foremost, Spirio | r can be played like any other Steinway, the instrument artists have chosen for over 165 years for its broad palette, warmth and depth of tone, powerful resonance, and unmatched touch response.

Much like the megapixel revolution of the digital camera, Spirio | r offers exclusive high-resolution recording, preserving all the music: every nuanced dynamic level from infinitesimal gradations of hammer velocity, and every shade of resonance from proportional pedaling — now at your fingertips.

The artisans at Steinway & Sons seamlessly install Spirio | r technology at the time of manufacture, ensuring no alteration in the musical performance nor compromise in the instrument’s beauty.
