A History of
Innovation and Excellence

Our company has a rich tradition of innovation and unrivaled craftsmanship. Through strategic acquisitions and mergers with industry leaders including the Selmer Company, Steinway Piano Company, and United Musical Instruments (UMI), we formed Conn Selmer. In 2013, Conn Selmer and Steinway transitioned to private ownership under Paulson & Co. Today, as a subsidiary of Steinway Musical Instruments, Inc., we remain committed to musical excellence and delivering the highest-quality musical instruments.
