It has been pointed out to me that Heinrich Engelhard Steinweg (the founder of Steinway) did actually have some involvement with the Steinweg company in the 1830's, but left the company very early in its life. I still stand by all my other statements, and wish to point out that Grotrian pianos are still allowed to be produced with the "Steinweg" name attatched in all other parts of the world except the USA.
Steinway has long been one of the world's most respected piano brands, but in my opinion, some of their actions in the past tarnish their reputation as a perfect piano company. One such time was when Steinway sued the Grotrian-Steinweg piano company over the use of the name "Steinweg", feeling that consumers might be confused into thinking that Steinway and Grotrian-Steinweg were somehow related.
In my opinion, this was completely unnecessary, and this piano is a remnant of this dark moment in Steinway's past. Apparently this feud has been going on since the late 1800's and was finally resolved in 1977, you can read more about it here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grotrian-Steinweg
