Blüthner Pianos Blüthner Piano Gallery

Allegro Pianos is your authorized dealer for Blüthner pianos.

Blüthner pianos have been at the pinnacle of piano making for over 150 years. Their uniquely pure, warm, and expressive character, and remarkably responsive actions have made Blüthner the first choice of many of the world's great composers and pianists. Debussy, Prokofiev, Shostakovitz, Tchaikovsky and Rachmininof, Blüthner Pianos Pianosamong others, composed their music on Blüthner pianos and each had his own personal Blüthner in his home.

The tone of the Blüthner is so rich and expressive that it is often compared to the human voice. Perhaps this is why many singers and musicians choose it for their private use and for recording. Marlene Dietrich owned a Blüthner, as did the Beatles, who composed on a Blüthner, recorded with a Blüthner, and even featured it on the cover of their album "Let it be". Andrew Lloyd Weber owns several Bluthners that continue to inspire him to create the remarkable compositions for his musicals. The Blüthner is also the piano of choice for many renowned modern-day classical pianists as Mikhail Pletniev Arturo Pizzaro or Patranel Milan.

Arthur  Rubinstein, perhaps the most notable pianist of the post world war II era, described in his autobiography "my many years", the way he felt when playing a Bluthner piano in a recording studio. ‘It had the most wonderful singing tone’ he said, "I became enthusiastic and decided to play my beloved Barcarole of Chopin. The piano inspired me, I never played better in my life"…

The unique playing and listening experience provided by Blüthner pianos is a direct result of the distinct Blüthner method of piano building and of the unique Blüthner design. Blüthner's commitment to use only the highest-grade parts and materials, un-compromised craftsmanship, the keenest attention to details and the highest level of quality control guarantees that each piano that it builds will produce the unique and beautiful Blüthner sound.

Blüthner pianos are also known for their graceful and exquisite looks. From the beautifully designed and finished plates, through the stunning wood finishes and artistic veneers, the Blüthner's objective for perfection is always evident. The term "custom hand made pianos" has its own special meaning when it refers to pianos made by Blüthner. And the close personal relationship that Allegro Pianos has with the Blüthner family gives you, as an Allegro customer, virtually direct access to the Blüthner factory. Should you desire a custom finish, perhaps one that matches one of your own stains or veneers, the Blüthner factory will almost always be able to create the look that you want. Should you want a custom feature in some other part of the piano, it is possible as well. A few years ago the Blüthner factory went so far as to produce for a left-handed client an inverted piano where the bass is on the right side of the keyboard and the treble is on the left...so most custom request are met at the factory with enthusiasm and looked upon as a challenge to overcome and exceed even the most demanding expectations.

Dr Christian Blüthner, the president of the Blüthner piano company and the fifth generation descendent of Julius Blüthner, is part of an unbroken line that extends 150 years. Over this time span the Blüthner family to continuously maintain complete control over the production and development of its pianos and produce the highest-level instruments. As a family-owned and operated business, the Blüthner family takes unequaled pride in each and every instrument that bears its name and is committed to assuring that each and every one of its pianos not only delivers the signature Blüthner sound, but also satisfies the highest expectations of the most discerning individual.

For the pleasure of its customers, Allegro Pianos always has an extensive selection of Bluthners on display in most available sizes and with several different finishes. These pianos are all perfectly prepared to be at their highest potential, and they are all ready to be evaluated and played by Allegro customers at any time.
