The best information available to me indicates that Steinway’s recent sales numbers are reflected in the piano market as a whole. The full factors at play in Chicago are unknown, but there is the symbolic effect of an iconic brand in flux…others look to them to see what they are doing.

Is this just another in a long list of prominent piano dealerships to lose their footing in this long recession or is it a reflection on the viability of iconic brands? Or is it something deeper?
