Seiler Pianos are a great example of really great things in life that need time to develop and often have small beginnings. This is also true of the Seiler pianoforte factory, which now ranks among Europe's greatest manufacturers of first-class grand pianos. Back in 1849, there was no such glorious future on the horizon. And yet when Eduard Seiler began making pianos in the town of Liegnitz that year, he did so in pursuit of a great vision. He wanted to make grand pianos which would not only meet the most demanding professional requirements, but would also provide the educated and culturally versed middle-classes with easy access to the world of music.
Ursula Seiler, owner, will be guiding the Seiler enterprise into the next millennium. She is dedicated to preserving and developing the unique touch, tonal volume and purity of sound of all Seiler's grand pianos for the future. Seiler has a line of beautiful grand pianos that are breathtaking and can warm any environment.
We are delighted to help you obtain a Seiler grand piano - { NEW } | { USED }
Please read more about Seiler by visiting www.seiler-pianos.com and call us to begin the process of owning a Seiler grand piano. We will be glad to arrange for you to talk with Ursula from Germany to discuss her company as well as any of her grand pianos.

"Anyone purchasing a grand piano should go through your company.....it is a fact....not a marketing tactic."

Yamaha is a solid company and we personally like working with our selection of Yamaha dealers. We are not dealers of Yamaha because we enjoy working with other dealers in other states. Yamaha has done a remarkable job with their marketing and promotions and they continue to build a good piano. Our company recommends Yamaha (Japanese) over any Chinese built piano (it is worth waiting to purchase a Yamaha). Also, it is not our practice to sell any Yamaha grand piano unless it is made for the North American market. We sold on an average of seven of the "non North American" market Yamaha grand pianos and decided as a company that we will no longer sell them to our clients. The reason: Our clients have told us that their "non North America" market Yamahas are doing okay, but the resale values are terrible. Contact us for more information about obtaining a Yamaha grand piano and we would be delighted to work with you.
Personal Note: You can purchase a Yamaha in the "teen to twenty thousand dollar" price range. It is our opinion that Yamaha is the best value for this particular price range.

Brodmann had a very important year in 1828, as did the history of piano making in central Europe. Ignaz Bösendorfer the most famous of all Austrian piano builders took control of the Joseph Brodmann piano workshops which was then considered to be the most innovative and modern piano factory in Europe and therefore the world.
Joseph Brodmann was born in 1763 in Eichswald, Prussia (today Germany). As a young man, he came to Vienna and became the apprentice of the well known piano builder Frederick Hoffman. By this time, Vienna had already been established as the centre of the musical world influenced by the music of Mozart, Beethoven and Schubert who all lived during his lifetime. Joseph Brodmann was one of the first and best known piano designers and craftsman of his time. In 1800, in the Lexicon of Musicians he was listed as “Joseph Brodmann - instrument maker, excelled in constructing horizontal fortepianos of solid finish“. In 1805 he was registered in the Court and State record department as an Organ and Piano maker.
It would be true to assert that even today in every Bösendorfer piano, there is a little part of Joseph Brodmann’s designs and teachings. Please go to www.brodmann-pianos.com to learn more about this piano company.
We are delighted to help you obtain a Brodmann grand piano - { NEW } | { USED }

Asian Pianos | Our company does not sell Asian pianos due to the lack of integrity of the woods and materials used. The exception is our Brodmann piano line that is engineered in Germany and assembled in Asia. For younger children, Asian grand pianos will do just fine. The resale value lacks with these pianos and we have not had good luck with them even with the promised "ten year warranty." We can offer you support in finding a good dealer to trust, if you prefer to purchase one of these pianos, but we do not carry them.
