While in the 21st century many musical instruments are mass-produced on an assembly line, at the Steinway Factory in Queens, NY, grand pianos are still made largely by hand, much as they were centuries before, and each piano develops a tonal personality very much its own as it slowly takes shape in the hands of expert craftsmen. Note by Note: The Making of Steinway L1037 is a documentary from filmmaker Ben Niles that follows the meticulous process of creating one of these remarkable instruments, from the harvesting of the wood in the Pacific Northwest to the final touches before the piano is sent to the sales floor of a music store. Along the way, Niles talks to many of the people who have had a hand in the making of this piano, as well as those who later hear music being performed on the instrument.

This is a wonderful look inside the making of a Steinway concert grand piano, and the infinite details involved in getting the exact perfect instrument for a renowned and admired piano virtuoso. After watching this dvd, I will never again take for granted the sounds that come from a Steinway, and will appreciate and understand its long and established honor in the history of music and musicians.
