<blockquote type=cite class=cite cite="">there were 5 Steinway grands B
(Hamburg) and 3 K uprights. Centrepiece was a B for the first class. Dark
brown walnut and carvings in the style of Luis-Quince. Of course without
rollers. Allegedly Steinway used special materials/glue for that grands
because of the wet climate expected (how true!)<br><br>

Folks:<br>
I have one of those burning questions that you get some times. You
know, a some what meaningless questions about piano facts... The
subject of the Titanic came up to day, and people were talking about the
pictures of the wreckage. Someone said the Grand Piano is still
down there. While that's good to know, I started to wonder who was
the manufacture of this piano? Anyone know? The Hindenburg had a
Bluthner grand, but what did the Titanic have. Thanks, and sorry
for the dumb question.</blockquote><br>
