Tuning of the Steinway Piano

In this photograph, taken by Andrea Hanks on November 21, 2018, an unidentified man tunes the Steinway piano in the Entrance Hall of the White House in anticipation of the holiday season. The grand piano was a gift to the White House from Steinway and Sons of Long Island City, New York in 1938. This piano replaced an earlier piano given to the White House by Steinway in 1903. Gilded scenes of American dance forms appear on the Honduran mahogany case, which is supported by three gilded, eagle-shaped legs in the Art Deco style
