which is information that enables us to identify you, such as your
name, email or other address, or other personal information ("Personal

we may use it for purposes such as verifying your identity, sending
you information, making the site easier for you to use by not having

It is our intent to inform you before we collect Personal Information,
and tell you what we intend to do with it. You will have the option

able to access other portions of this website, although you may
not be able to access certain programs or services. In certain portions
of this website, we also may enable you to "opt-out" of
certain uses of your information, or elect not to receive future
communications or services. Users who no longer wish to receive
communications from us may opt-out of receiving these communications
by emailing us at webmaster@steinway.com and including the word

Cookies
Portions of this website use cookies to keep track of your visit,

cart." You can set your browser to notify you when you receive
a cookie, giving you the chance to accept or reject it. If you reject
a cookie you may still use this website; however, you may not be
able to participate in certain sweepstakes, contests or drawings
