"As I considered the number 600,000, the Fibonacci spiral came to mind." Maybe I took this too literally, but 600,000 isn't a fibonacci number, and neither are

  I think he was just thinking about numbers in general to get ideas, and Fibonacci was one that he knew by name, so it came to mind.

  Maybe he's looking at the number 6 and seeing a spiral?

    Looks that way to me. If you take that picture of the piano and rotate it, it looks like a big number 6: http://i.imgur.com/YnuV0YY.jpg http://i.imgur.com/YnuV0YY.jpg

      Add the five circles to it in the spiral and you get 6OOOOO.

  I feel they're just manufacturing statements for better advertisement.

    If you haven't seen it, Fibonacci Flim Flam is a fun read - https://www.lhup.edu/~dsimanek/pseudo/fibonacc.htm https://www.lhup.edu/~dsimanek/pseudo/fibonacc.htm

  The following sentence explains it. "The way in which [the fibonacci spiral] continues to grow but stay true to its form is very much like Steinway & Sons over these many years."

    Tbh, that could apply to any other number.
