  Composers, artists, and music lovers alike have sought out Blüthner pianos for 156 years. The Blüthner family still today maintains their unique qualities. In the words of the well known pianist, composer, and Blüthner model II owner, Roger Kellaway:

 
I chose the Bluthner for the following reasons:

Its warmth

Its remarkable versatility of ‘dynamic’ range throughout the entire keyboard

The wonderful eveness of the action

The ‘singing’ quality of the upper register. The piano sings throughout the keyboard, but in the last upper two octaves, where most pianos are a disappointment to me, the Bluthner takes its well-deserved bow!

The excellence and the obvious patience of expert craftsmanship

The response to any style of music - classical, jazz, pop, rock’n’roll, folk music, avant-guarde, etc.

The ‘orchestral’ quality of the Bluthner which is so necessary for me as a pianist and as a composer.

 
Since August, 1963, when we imported the first new Bluthner grand piano from Leipzig to Pasadena, California, it has been the pleasure and mission of our family business to place fine Blüthner pianos in homes, colleges and universities, with music lovers, professional musicians, and recording artists.

Whenever the special qualities of the Blüthner are desired, the Kasimoff Blüthner Piano Company provides pianos for recitals, chamber music, opera performances, etc.

Many Blüthners grand pianos have been restored in our workshop such as those owned by Jerome Kern (1922), Prince Esterharzy (1903), and King Johann of Saxony (1860). Our advice is regularly sought after in all matters regarding Blüthner pianos and European brands in general.

At all times we have no less than 15 Blüthner grand pianos in our showroom. Aside from Irmler pianos, we do not represent any other makes of pianos.

The Kasimoff Blüthner Piano Company also serves the early music community with our 46 years of representation of Neupert harpsichords and forte pianos from Bamberg, Germany. We also have Schiedmayer celestas and Henle editions.

We invite you to contact us or visit our showroom where you can begin your own conversation with a Blüthner today!

 
“...one doesn’t play on a Blüthner - one speaks to it, and it speaks back. (And I only hope I can hold up my end of the conversation...)”
