The Hall of Steinway and Sons is almost finished. Only the interior decorations and the big chandelier are still missing. The chandelier was ordered in London and is called a “sun burner”. It will spread strong but pleasant light. Steinways have also ordered a very large organ in Germany. However, it will not be finished until 4 years from now. Until then the organ of the Thomas Church, which is being restored at this time and was purchased by the Steinway Company, will be used for this venue.
