Today marks the birthday of Henry Steinway (2/15/1797 - 2/7/1871), builder of pianos and founder of the Steinway & Sons company. His original name was Heinrich Engelhard Steinweg but he changed it to Henry Steinway after moving from Germany to New York in 1851. When 2-year-old Evelyn saw this tie today she first said "What that on your tie?" but then she immediately shouted "piano!"
