Favoured by many« There are only two things which I took with me on my way to
America... my wife and my precious Blüthner » Rachmaninov
once said. The Blüthner pianos were also favoured by Brahms,
Tchaikovsky and Rubinstein just to name a few. We have surely
all enjoyed the Blüthner piano in « Let It Be » by The Beatles.
The company is still managed by the Blüthner family in Leipzig.
Aliquot system includedA unique feature in Blüthner’s grand pianos is the fourth string
for each key in the treble, called the Aliquot system. Its purpose
is to create a sympathetic vibrating string that enhances thed by
Pianoteq’s physical model, bringing sparkling treble notes and powerful bass. The instrument is capable
of producing everything from tender pianissimos to thunderous persuasiveness, easily matching the orchestra's
power as well as intimate moments in a performance. Thanks to the physical modelling, the Blüthner Model 1
add-on offers unmatched playability and versatility, developed to meet the requirements from the most
demanding musicians.
