Steinway Titanic's D Deck was also home to what Ms. Maxner hails as Steinway's crown jewel — - the 6'10.5" Model B Drawing Room Grand piano that as some could imagine, assumed a commanding presence in the Reception Room.

Read More »Ordered from the factory without veneer, legs or lyre, Steinway documents indicate the Model B was one of three pianos sold to A. Heaton & Co., an interior decorating firm based in London. With mahogany veneers offset by other exotic woods, "the grand was the crowning glory of Titanic’s pianos, a showcase of workmanship as it stood out against the white Jacobean walls of the Reception Room," she writes. In a recent article for the Clavier Companion, Ms. Maxner noted that performance venues in the First and Second Class were located in areas where the music would carry throughout the ship, and the Steinway pianos were installed in those places. The Model K uprights were chosen for Titanic’s "Second Class" — a misnomer of distinction in musical parlance, as both were considered instruments of exceptional quality. Located in the entrance foyer on C Deck, one of the pianos boasted a French finish that was applied after delivery, to ensure the wood stain on the piano matched the décor of the entrance hall, according to Ms. Maxner. Stationed in the Dining Saloon on D Deck, the other instrument had a different cabinet to distinguish it from factory-built Model Ks, which Mr. Kirkland says have a 20th century look in the Sheraton case style. He adds the Model K remains in production to this day. Asked to speculate on the fate of the five Titanic Steinways, Mr. Kirkland had this to say: "The pianos were fastened securely to the ship’s floors. When the Titanic submerged, the piano’s keys, hammers and hinged components suspended due to the buoyance of the wood. Although glues dissolve and metals corrode, at the bottom of the ocean amidst the wreckage there probably lie remnants that bear the name of Steinway & Sons. I believe it to be inevitable one day that something will be raised." There is one certainty that remains in the 100 years since the iconic luxury liner came to rest at the bottom of the North Atlantic, ever since the company’s founding in 1853: Steinway remains dedicated to making the best pianos in the world.
