History of Blüthner
Julius Blüthner established his workshop in Leipzig, Saxony in 1853. This accomplishment was only achieved after a long and difficult campaign to gain Leipzig citizenship. Julius started his endeavor with himself and three other craftsman. A deeply religious man, Julius spoke the defining words that would allow his company to survive and flourish for the next 162 years, "May God Prevail". The age of any particular Blüthner piano can be determined by matching its serial number to the age table freely available on the Blüthner website.
By 1900 Blüthner had become the largest piano maker in Germany, producing some 5,000 instruments annually. Innovations such as the Aliquot string, a fourth string that vibrated sympathetically and that is tuned in unison as well as the cylindrical soundboard and angle cut hammers, created a unique voice for the Blüthner instrument.
The owners Adolf Max Blüthner, Dr. Paul Robert and Willy Bruno Heinrich were awarded an imperial and royal warrant of appointment to the court of Austria-Hungary.
A name
that spans the centuries.
Carl Rönisch was one of the first German manufacturers to export overseas. Rönisch instruments were held in high esteem in Southern Africa, California, Mexico, Australia, the East Indies, and in all of the English colonies. Rönisch won gold medals in the world exhibitions in Sydney 1979 and Amsterdam 1883.
Rönisch was awarded the first prize for its extraordinary grand in the world exhibition in Melbourne 1888. Today, this Rönisch Concert Grand with the serial number 8461 can be admired at the Australian National University of Canberra (ANU). As part of Australia's musical history it is the centerpiece of the Keyboard Institute's collection at the School of Music.
In 1884, Carl Rönisch was appointed Royal Councilor of Commerce; this was followed by the appointment as Royal Purveyor to the Court of Sweden and Norway in 1890.
Carl Rönisch died in 1894 at the age of 80. At that time, his factory was producing 1500 instruments per year and employed 250 people. The management of the company was taken over by his sons Albert as the business manager and Hermann as the production manager.
Rönisch won again gold medals in the world exhibition in Chicago 1893 and in Paris 1900. In 1898, the Carl Rönisch's sons established a branch in St. Petersburg Russia with an annual production of 1000 instruments.
