Item 11. Executive Compensation

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

Overview

The Compensation Committee of the Board is responsible for establishing, implementing and monitoring adherence to the Company's
compensation philosophy. The Compensation Committee ensures that the total compensation for executive officers is fair, reasonable and competitive. The current members of the Compensation Committee
are Chairman David Lockwood and Messrs. Edward Kim and Don Kwon, each of whom is an "independent director" as defined by the listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange.

The
following Compensation Discussion and Analysis should be read in conjunction with the report of the Compensation Committee, which immediately follows.

Compensation Philosophy and Objectives

The objectives of the Company's executive compensation program are to (i) attract and retain highly qualified individuals,
(ii) recognize individual, business segment, and Company performance and behavior consistent with the Company's values, and (iii) align senior managers' financial interests with the
long-term interests of the Company's stockholders through stock ownership. To achieve these objectives, the Compensation Committee believes that variable compensation paid to executive
officers, such as bonuses, should be closely linked to the achievement of annual and long-term performance goals. The Compensation Committee designs compensation packages based upon
individual, business segment, and Company performance that reward and motivate the Company's executive officers to achieve strategic business objectives and to continue to perform at the highest
levels. In keeping with the Company's executive compensation philosophy and objectives, an appropriate portion of the total compensation awarded to executive officers is performance-based and
equity-based.

In
order to achieve its objectives, the principal elements of the Company's compensation program for its executive officers are annual salary, performance bonuses, long-term
incentive awards in the form of stock option grants and restricted stock awards, retirement benefits, and perquisites and other personal benefits.

Setting Executive Compensation

The Compensation Committee is responsible for determining the compensation of the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and the
long-term compensation and bonus awards for other Named Executive Officers. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012 the Company's Named Executive Officers were:
Mr. Michael T. Sweeney, Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company; Mr. Dennis M. Hanson, Chief Financial Officer, General Counsel and Senior Executive
Vice President; Mr. Thomas Kurrer, President of Steinway & Sons Worldwide and director of the Company; Mr. Ronald L. Losby, President of Steinway &
Sons-Americas; and Mr. John M. Stoner, Jr., President of Conn-Selmer, Inc. and director of the Company. The Compensation Committee evaluates and makes
determinations annually concerning each Named Executive Officer's base salary, short-term incentive compensation and long-term incentive compensation. Compensation decisions
are made based on each Named Executive Officer's past performance as well as expectations of future performance, with a view towards ensuring that each officer's total compensation is competitive and
reasonable. In evaluating the performance and expectations for future
performance of each Named Executive Officer, the Compensation Committee takes into consideration the recommendation of the Chief Executive Officer and, when appropriate, other senior officers.

The
Compensation Committee's decisions on compensation for the Company's Named Executive Officers are based primarily upon the Compensation Committee's assessment of each individual's

6

performance,
supplemented by input from outside professional consultants. To reach decisions on compensation for Mr. Sweeney, the Compensation Committee examined several additional factors,
such as the Company's performance and relative stockholder return, the value of similar incentive awards to Chief Executive Officers at comparable public companies, and the awards given to the
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer in prior years. The Compensation Committee relies upon judgment, and not upon rigid guidelines or formulas, in determining the amount and mix of compensation
elements for each Named Executive Officer. Factors affecting this judgment include performance compared to strategic goals established for the individual and the Company at the beginning of the year,
the nature and scope of the executive's responsibilities, and effectiveness in leading initiatives to achieve corporate goals. In the past fiscal year, Mr. Sweeney, the Company's Chief
Executive Officer, played a key role in managing the strategic alternatives process, and in negotiating the sale of the Company's Steinway Hall building, its flagship retail showroom in New York, New
York.

In
June 2011 and January of 2013, our stockholders voted, on an advisory basis, on resolutions regarding the compensation of our Named Executive Officers. The resolutions were approved
by a significant majority of stockholders indicating strong support for our overall executive compensation program. The Compensation Committee took these results into account in maintaining the
compensation program for our Named Executive Officers in 2012 and, therefore, did not make any significant changes to the program as a result of the advisory votes. The Compensation Committee will
continue to consider the outcome of the advisory vote when considering future executive compensation arrangements.

Executive Compensation Components

For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012, the principal elements of compensation for Named Executive Officers
were:



In
fiscal 2012, base salaries for Named Executive Officers were in the range of 50-75% of their total cash and equity compensation (excluding benefits). Annual cash
performance-based incentive compensation was in the range of 25-50%. There was no long-term incentive compensation awarded for 2012, due primarily to the imposition of a
blackout associated with the strategic alternatives evaluation process.



The Company pays its Named Executive Officers base salaries to provide them with guaranteed minimum compensation levels for their
annual services. With the periodic assistance of third-party consultants, base salaries are set within a certain range and at competitive levels, with reference to position, level of responsibilities,
experience and geographic market conditions. In establishing annual salary adjustments, the Compensation Committee conducted a subjective analysis that took into consideration the Company's and the
individual's performance, as well as general marketplace conditions, including comparative information from similar industries. Such adjustments are meant primarily to maintain an individual's
compensation in a range or adjust for position, duties, responsibilities or market changes. The Compensation Committee does not assign a fixed value or weight to any specific performance factor when
making base salary decisions.

7

---





In addition to a base salary, each Named Executive Officer is eligible for a performance-based annual bonus, which is designed to
motivate individual and team performance in attaining the current year's performance goals and business objectives.

Performance
bonuses are generally awarded to senior executive officers in accordance with the Company's or relevant business segment's bonus plan and individual performance with respect
to each individual's goals and objectives, as determined by the Compensation Committee. Under the applicable plan, participants are assigned a target bonus for the plan year that is a percentage of
their base salaries. Bonus payouts under the plan for the participants are based on whether the Company or relevant business segment meets or exceeds pre-established performance levels.
The primary measure of performance is based on a return on assets ("ROA") percentage, which is calculated using EBITDA (earnings before net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and
amortization), as adjusted for atypical items, divided by assets employed, as defined in the applicable plan. In addition to this formula, the Compensation Committee considers each individual's
performance during the year and adjusts the bonus payment as appropriate. The Compensation Committee then makes an overall assessment and judgment about each executive officer's performance and
considers prior year awards, internal equity, and the overall market competitiveness of each officer's total cash and total compensation to determine the amount of the incentive bonus award.
Generally, an executive's target bonus is 25% of base salary based on these criteria. A higher percentage can be achieved should the performance of the business segment or Company exceed the
pre-established performance levels. However, a maximum award payable is set at 250% of target to minimize risk associated with excessive variable compensation. In addition, the
Compensation Committee has the discretion to grant bonuses during the year upon the achievement of major accomplishments that have or will have a significant positive impact on the Company and its
operations.

In
2012, the performance of both the piano segment's domestic and overseas divisions resulted in a bonus pool for key employees including Messrs. Kurrer, Hanson and Losby, and the
Company's band segment's results resulted in a bonus pool for Mr. Stoner. Mr. Hanson's bonus is based on the performance of both the Company's consolidated results and those of the piano
segment. Mr. Losby's bonus is based on the performance of both the piano segment results and those of the domestic piano division. The Company's consolidated level ROA target for
Mr. Hanson was 15.0%, with a minimum of 10.0% for any payout, and the Company achieved an ROA of 12.6%. The piano segment's ROA target for Messrs. Kurrer, Hanson, and Losby was 25.0%,
with a minimum of 15.0% for any payout, and the segment achieved an ROA of 44.7%. The domestic piano division's ROA target for Mr. Losby was also 25.0%, with a minimum of 15.0% for any payout,
and that division achieved an ROA of 28.5%. The
band division's ROA target for Mr. Stoner was 20.0%, with a minimum of 13.0% for any payout, and that division achieved an ROA of 18.3%. The different ROA targets for piano and band are
primarily due to the difference in how each segment accounts for the allocation of corporate level expenses. Mr. Sweeney did not participate in a specific bonus plan for 2012. Rather,
consistent with his employment agreement, the Compensation Committee, after considering Mr. Sweeney's performance, authorized a discretionary bonus of approximately 100% of his 2012 salary.



The Company, through the Compensation Committee, awards stock options or restricted stock awards to align the interests of its
executives with the interests of the Company's stockholders by having the realizable value depend on an increase in the Company's stock price. The Compensation Committee believes this motivates the
Company's executive officers to return value to stockholders through future appreciation of the Company's stock price. The options and awards provide a long-term incentive because they
vest over a period of time and the options remain outstanding for 10 years, encouraging executive officers to focus energies on long-term corporate performance. The vesting

8

requirements
are designed to encourage retention of the Company's officers. In determining grants of stock options and restricted stock awards, the Compensation Committee takes into account an
executive officer's position, scope of responsibility, performance, ability to affect profits and stockholder value, and value of stock options in relation to other elements of compensation. The
Compensation Committee also considers prior equity awards made to the executive officer, internal equity and competitive market data. Due to the Board's consideration of various strategic alternatives
during the year, all Named Executive Officers were subject to a "blackout period" as prescribed by the Company's Insider Trading Policy. A "blackout period," as defined in the policy, is a period
during which the Named Executive Officers, because they are in possession of material, non-public information, are not permitted to trade the Company's stock. Accordingly, no
long-term incentive compensation was granted to any Named Executive Officers in fiscal 2012.



Named Executive Officers are eligible to participate in all of the Company's employee benefit plans (except the Company's Employee
Stock Purchase Plan), such as
medical, dental and the insurance plans, including a 401(k) plan with Company matching contribution or profit sharing, in each case on the same basis as other employees and subject to certain
limitations by the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code"). Messrs. Hanson, Kurrer and Losby also participate in the Company's Pension Plan as described in the "Pension Benefits" section included
elsewhere in this Amended Report.

The
Company maintains a nonqualified supplemental executive retirement plan ("SERP") for certain key employees. The Company, in its sole and absolute discretion, may make an annual SERP
contribution on behalf of the eligible participants. Generally the contribution ranges from 5-12% of the executive's compensation depending on age upon entering the plan. On
January 23, 2013, the Compensation Committee approved a SERP contribution for fiscal 2012 of 5% of each of the following executives' compensation: Messrs. Sweeney, Hanson, Stoner and
Losby. Total contributions and earnings thereon are then payable in the form of 15 substantially equal yearly installments beginning upon retirement and when the participant reaches age 65.
Participants become fully vested upon the completion of five years of service. As of December 31, 2012, all Named Executive Officers except Mr. Sweeney were fully vested in the SERP.



The Company provides the Named Executive Officers with perquisites and other personal benefits that the Compensation Committee believes
are reasonable and consistent with the Company's overall compensation program to better enable the Company to attract and retain superior employees for key positions. The Compensation Committee
periodically reviews the levels of perquisites and other personal benefits provided to the Named Executive Officers, details of which are set forth in Footnote 4 of the Summary Compensation Table
included elsewhere in this Amended Report. Attributed costs of the personal benefits for the Named Executive Officers for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012 are included in the "All Other
Compensation" column of the Summary Compensation Table.

Summary

After review of the Company's existing program along with relative data for comparable positions in similar industries and the
compensation consultants' reports, the Compensation Committee believes that the total compensation program for the Company's Named Executive Officers is competitive with the compensation programs
provided by other corporations with which the Company competes for management talent. The Compensation Committee also believes that the annual bonuses provide opportunities to the Company's Named
Executive Officers that are consistent with the returns that are generated on behalf of the Company's stockholders.

Tax and Accounting Implications

Section 162(m) of the Code prevents publicly traded companies from receiving a tax deduction on compensation paid to Named
Executive Officers in excess of $1.0 million annually. This limitation does not apply to compensation that qualifies as "performance-based compensation" under the Code. The Compensation
Committee believes at the present time that based on the Company's current compensation philosophy and performance-based bonus formula, it does not anticipate that the limitation will have a material
effect on the Company.

Report of the Compensation Committee

The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company has reviewed and discussed the Compensation Discussion and Analysis
required by Item 402(b) of Regulation S-K with management of the Company. Based on this review and discussion, the Compensation Committee recommended to the Board of
Directors that the Compensation Discussion and Analysis be included in this Amended Report.

(1)On
January 26, 2011, based on their 2010 performance, the Company granted restricted stock awards to Messrs. Hanson and Stoner
in the amount of 10,000 shares each of Ordinary Common Stock. The amounts reported in this column reflect the aggregate fair market value of the restricted stock awards as of the grant date. The
restricted stock fully vested upon the sale of the Company's Class A Common Stock in June 2011. The amounts in the table do not reflect the actual value that may be realized by the Named
Executive Officer.(2)The
amounts reported in this column, if any, reflect the aggregate grant date fair value of option awards by the Company for financial
statement reporting purposes for fiscal 2012, 2011, and 2010 for stock option awards in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 718, without regard to forfeitures as prescribed by
SEC rules. The assumptions used to calculate the grant date fair value of option awards under the Black-Scholes model are set forth in Note 14 to the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements
filed with the Company's 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The amounts in the table do not reflect the actual value that may be realized by the Named Executive Officers from
exercising the options.(3)This
amount reflects the actuarial increase or decrease in the present value of the executive's pension plan established by the Company based
on the assumptions used in the Company's financial statements and as set forth in the Pension Benefits section of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K. For fiscal 2012 these
amounts were $22,800, $769,424 and $4,013 for Messrs. Hanson, Kurrer and Losby, respectively. The increase in pension benefits is primarily attributable to a decrease in discount rates. This
amount also reflects the aggregate earnings (loss) for each executive under the Company's SERP as set forth in the Nonqualified Deferred Compensation section in the Company's Annual Report on
Form 10-K. For fiscal 2012, these amounts were $53,500 and $24,100 for Messrs. Hanson and Stoner, respectively.

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence

Certain Relationships and Related Transactions

The Company has adopted a written Related Party Transaction Policy. A related party transaction is a transaction between the Company
and any related party other than transactions available to all employees generally, or transactions involving less than $5,000 when aggregated with all similar transactions. Under this policy, any
related party transaction must be approved by the Audit Committee in accordance with the guidelines set forth in the policy and must be on terms comparable to those that could be obtained in arm's
length dealings with an unrelated third party. At each calendar year's first regularly scheduled Audit Committee meeting, management recommends related party transactions to be entered into by the
Company for that calendar year, including the proposed aggregate value of such transactions if applicable.

In
fiscal 2012, the Company reimbursed Kirkland Messina, LLC, a limited liability corporation controlled by Messrs. Kirkland and Messina, a total of $61,573 for expenses
including, but not limited to, airfare, hotel, meals, postage and telephone. In addition, the Company paid annual rent of $189,528 to Kirkland Messina, LLC for office space the Company uses in
Los Angeles, California.

Director Independence

The Board is comprised of a majority of independent directors. The Board has determined that Messrs. Edward Kim, J.S. Kim, Joon
Kim, Kwon, Lockwood and Wood are all independent according to applicable rules of the SEC and the listing standards of the NYSE. The Board made this determination after discussions with the directors
and review of their responses to questions regarding employment and transaction history, affiliations, and family and other relationships.

Item 14. Principal Accounting Fees and Services

The aggregate fees billed to the Company by KPMG LLP ("KPMG") for professional, audit-related, and tax-related
services for fiscal 2012 and 2011 were as follows:



20

Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policy

firm for any non-audit services other than the following tax-related services: tax return preparation and review; advice on income tax, tax accounting, sales/use tax, excise
tax and other miscellaneous tax matters; tax advice and implementation assistance on restructurings, mergers and acquisition matters and other tax strategies. KPMG did not provide any professional
services related to tax matters, financial systems design and implementation, bookkeeping or internal audit services except for tax compliance consulting for the Company's United Kingdom subsidiary.
The Audit Committee approved all of the fees paid to KPMG for services provided in 2012.
