Victory Verticals highlights the little-known story of the Steinway & Sons portable upright pianos that were specially built during World War II to endure any manner of shipping to the front lines and bring morale-boosting music to American troops on land and sea.

The exhibit features three of these Steinway G.I. pianos, known as “Victory Verticals,” fully restored and tuned.

Special programs and displays will highlight how the magic of music helped win the War, including regularly scheduled mini-concerts during the month-long run of the exhibit.
