The Blüthner family of brands comprises four exceptional quality brands. Learn the story of each brand here.
Blüthner
The brand that has inspired composers and pianists since 1853. The ideal choice for professional musicians and ambitious enthusiasts — and for those who are both. Since 1853, Blüthner pianos have been exclusively manufactured in Leipzig, Germany. To this day, the Blüthner family of craftsmen and entrepreneurs continues to head the firm and personally oversees the production of each piano bearing their name.
Wolfahrt
The WOHLFAHRT piano-making dynasty is once again delighting music lovers around the world. After more than 40 years, Mattia Wohlfahrt has revived the WOHLFAHRT brand, bringing new life to the historic piano manufacturer from Grenchen with a perfectly coordinated range of upright and grand pianos and an almost unlimited selection of cabinet designs. As the son of a visionary piano maker and the owner of a fourth-generation family business, master piano maker Mattia Wohlfahrt is a recognized expert with extensive knowledge of the piano industry. The passion and dedication that his predecessors invested in crafting exceptional musical instruments live on in him today and form the foundation of the uncompromising quality standards that define the revived WOHLFAHRT brand.
Rönisch
Early in 1845, Carl Rönisch started building pianos in his own workshop and thus the great Rönisch Piano was born. The company's philosophy: the finest tonal qualities achieved by rock-solid, durable construction. Rönisch had the idea of using a full cast iron plate in the piano. This frame had five struts and fully covered the pinblock, which allowed a high tension scale for the first time. This revolutionary invention was soon adopted by virtually every piano maker and remains in universal use today providing power, projection, sustain and sonority in the modern piano. In 2009, the Carl Rönisch piano factory merged with Blüthner in Leipzig, where every instrument is produced by hand to this day.
Irmler
Irmler pianos are produced under the watchful eye of the Blüthner family and each instrument undergoes stringent quality checks before it leaves our factory in Germany. Earmarked as an entry-level brand to the world of Blüthner with excellent tonal, aesthetic and mechanic qualities, the Irmler range offers advantageous value at a very attractive price point. All Irmler models are also available as silent pianos allowing the player to practice in private with headphones whilst maintaining the precision of an acoustic piano.
