Description

FOR HOME USE ONLY. NO SUBTITLES
Note By Note is a feature-length independent documentary that follows the creation of a Steinway concert grand – #L1037 – from forest floor to concert hall. It explores the relationship between musician and instrument, chronicles the manufacturing process, and illustrates what makes each Steinway unique in this age of mass production.
