FAQS

The golden era for traditional European-made pianos is deemed to be between 1900 to 1940 and includes prestigious brands such as Steinway & Sons, Bechstein, Blüthner and Bösendorfer. For Japanese-made Yamaha and Kawai pianos, this era falls between 1965 to 1995.

Pianos manufactured during the Golden Era are special due to the focus on skilled labour and quality materials, such as steel, brass, chrome and solid timbers. Pianos built during this time were essentially built to last forever. As mass production of pianos became prevalent after 1995, quantity rather than quality of product became the focus, machines overtook skilled labour and inferior, bulk-produced materials, such as chipboard, aluminium, carbon fibre and plastics, began to replace traditional materials.
