Steger, a German immigrant, was dedicated to producing high-quality, affordable pianos, which led to the rapid growth and success of the company.

Additionally, Steger & Sons was known for their beautifully crafted cabinetry, featuring intricate inlays and carvings that added a touch of elegance to their instruments.
