Steinway & Sons Piano FactoryModel Business Still Going Strong 100 Years LaterAstoria Queens. While some businesses may be folding, others like the Steinway & Sons Piano Factory in Astoria are still going strong, after over a century in business. In some respects the factory is a sort of living museum, as the piano makers are really craftsmen and artesans, rather than factory workers in a 20th century sense. So what keeps this pillar in the community going strong after so many years? Its unrelenting commitment to quality and innovation.
