In his new photobook, Making Steinway, photographer Christopher Payne captures the inner workings of Steinway & Sons, the famous Queens-based piano factory.
Payne describes the motivation behind these photos:
In this era of service jobs and office work, most of us have never been inside a factory. The kind of manufacturing and craftsmanship that happens at One Steinway Place in Astoria, New York, where people transform raw, often messy materials into some of the finest musical instruments in the world, has nearly vanished from the American workplace.
