Blüthner Piano History: 1853 to Today
In the middle of the 19th century, the city of Leipzig in Germany was one of the cultural centres at the heart of Europe, equal to Paris, London or Vienna; and the Blüthner family became part – and still are – a major part of the musical tradition of the city. Julius Blüthner opened his piano factory on the 18th of November 1853 and his instruments soon achieved acclaim, rose to prominence, and captured the attention of top pianists and musical authorities. Blüthner won top prizes at world exhibitions around the globe and in 1876, his 4th string Aliquot design – which would influence the ‘Golden Tone’ of Blüthner pianos for evermore – won gold medal at the Philadelphia World’s Fair. Amazingly, the Blüthner piano company is still based in Leipzig and still owned and run by the Blüthner family.
