Fazioli Pianos has been producing grand and concert grand pianos since 1981, when the company was established by the engineer and pianist Paolo Fazioli. His love for music, scientific expertise, skill as an artisan and his passion for research combined with rigorous material selection make every Fazioli piano a masterpiece that combines unique functional, aesthetic and sound characteristics. The factory is situated in Sacile, in the province of Pordenone, 60 km north east of Venice, in an area that boasts a time honoured and prestigious tradition in the art of wood working.
Since 1853, Blüthner pianos have been exclusively manufactured in Leipzig, Germany. To this day, the Blüthner family of craftsman and entrepreneurs continues to head the Blüthner firm and personally oversees the production of each piano bearing their name. They carry on the legacy of the founder, Julius Blüthner, to build the best pianos in the world. The highest standards of precision and craftsmanship have been achieved here for over 150 years. Today, this standard is certified on every individual soundboard by the signatures of the Blüthner family owners.
Success demands courage – and passion. Both of these qualities were demonstrated by Willhelm Schimmel, the founder of the company. Shortly after the completion of his training as a piano manufacturer, he established his own workshop in Leipzig and produced his first piano at the beginning of 1885. His instruments were impressive for their advanced technique, excellent tone and contemporary form. Both he and his slogan, “Quality will prevail,” were proved right by his success. The family firm continued to flourish: by the end of the 1950s, Schimmel instruments were the most frequently purchased pianos in Germany – and were being sent all around the world.
Estonia Pianos are known for their highly sensitive and responsive action and their unique sound. The Estonia sound is metaphorically analogous to the music of composer Johannes Brahms, who wrote pieces for the large concert halls of the Romantic Era. His First Piano Concerto, in which the soloist and orchestra are combined to transport the listener to a sound space resonating with Romantic, rich, warm sound. Similarly, the Estonia sound is warm and markedly orchestral, featuring tones similar to the human voice and its special singing element known as cantabile. Purchasing an Estonia piano will catapult your piano performance from 0-60 in just a few seconds.
With the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, a new era also began for the piano industry in Eisenberg. Whereas in GDR times, the aim was to manufacture instruments for the broad mass of the population, now other criteria are decisive.
On 01.01.1993 Mr. Helmut Altmeyer acquires the “Eisenberger Pianofortefabrik” from the Treuhand and leads the company with a completely new set up and new designed product line into the market. This includes the new name “Wilh- Steinberg AG”.
Since then, Wilh. Steinberg has continued the traditions that originated in the pianoforte factory founded by Adolph Geyer in 1877. But also representative for a number of companies like Weissbrod, Fuchs & Möhr, Finger and many others, which already gained world-wide reputation in their time and made Eisenberg known as a city of piano building far beyond its borders.
