Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 Stolen from elsewhere: During World War II, Steinway & Sons air-dropped pianos with large parachutes and complete tuning instructions into the battle for the American troops. Called the Victory Vertical or G.I. Steinway, the pianos were to provide a bit of relaxation/morale booster. The pianos came in olive, blue and gray drab. By the end of the war, Steinway & Sons had provided about 5,000 pianos to the U.S. military around the world. They had four sons and a few cousins who served.

Rye Miles #13621 Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 As a piano tuner/technician I've known about this for years! I do tunings for a Steinway dealer here in the area that's where I found out about this. Awesome idea! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
