What are the famous pianos in the world?

The world's famous pianos include: Steinway, B?sendorfer, Ibach, Beckstein, Mason & Hanlin

1. Steinway

1836 , Henry Steinway built his first piano in his kitchen. In 1850, Henry Steinway immigrated to the United States with his wife and children. In 1853, Steinway & Sons was established in Manhattan, USA.

His first piano produced by the company is now on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. Since 1855, Steinway pianos have won multiple gold medals in some European and American exhibitions. In 1857, Steinway established the first Steinway Piano Exhibition Center. In 1866, the Steinway Company established the Steinway Recital Hall.

2. B?sendorfer

B?sendorfer has appeared on Austria’s “national business card” stamps more than once. In 1828, B?sendorfer opened a factory in Vienna to produce pianos. Liszt broke almost all the pianos he played at that time. However, the B?sendorfer grand piano was not damaged by his playing. Overnight, B?sendorfer became famous for its ability to withstand blows and its excellent silver color.

The production process of B?sendorfer's piano hammers is very particular. A piano needs to be struck for two to three hours to observe whether its hardness is suitable. B?sendorfer is committed to producing some large pianos, with a total length of more than three meters. To meet the special needs of some concerts. The mids and highs are sweet and pleasant, but the volume is slightly low. The bass is silvery and thick. Some people think that B?sendorfer is better than New York Steinway in terms of bass tone.

3. Ibach

Ibach was born in 1794. Although it is not the earliest piano factory, it is the oldest piano factory still producing in the world. Made in Germany. The piano tone is rich in layers, and the sustain and volume are both good. In order to reduce costs, after 1991, the production line gradually shifted to South Korea.

4. Beckstein

The Beckstein Piano Factory was founded in Berlin, Germany in 1853. The craftsmanship is nearly perfect. The treble of Beckstein's grand piano is very pure and beautiful. There are also many fine products for upright pianos.

5. Mason & Hanlin

Mason & Hanlin was founded in Boston, USA in 1854. The sign is that there is a set of tension vibrators on the back, which is said to be very beneficial to stabilizing the shape of the piano body and maintaining the curvature of the soundboard. It is the only piano factory in the United States that can compete with New York Steinway. And despite being born in the United States, Mason & Hanlin's sound quality has a more obvious European flavor rather than an American flavor.
