Really, I give this 4.5 stars. It's really a very interesting book -- if you know a fair amount about the piano and the music written for it. I suspect that someone who hasn't spent much time around a piano would find this a lot drier than I did, having spent my whole life around pianos. Anyway, it was really interesting for me to learn about all the work (and there's a LOT of it) that goes into making a concert piano. This was the highlight of my week!

This book is a great read for anyone interested in the Steinway company history, or how they hand-make each piano. I really enjoyed the history and gained a new appreciation for the craftsmanship. Each piano really is a piece of art.

I'm not a musician but I love music and to read how a piano is crafted was not only interesting but surprising.
