Why You Should Get A Brodmann Piano (and not a Steinway.)

You don’t need a New Steinway piano, you need a Brodmann. Here’s why:

The Brodmann PE 228

Everybody knows who Steinway is. Everybody also knows the Steinway prices, and if you don’t, let’s just say to buy one you would probably have to take out a small house loan. Just about every new Steinway is above $100,000. If you’re anything like myself and the vast majority of musicians out there, a $100,000 price tag is way past what you can afford. Not all hope is lost though! Let me introduce the Brodmann Piano!

Not many people know about the Brodmann pianos, but that’s okay because you’re about to. To put a long story short, Brodmann has been around for a very very long time. It started in Vienna during the pianist explosion and was influenced by famous Pianists such as Mozart, Beethoven and Schubert. Joseph Brodmann, the founder, was one of the first and best known piano designers and craftsmen. Several Pianists owned and played his pianos such as Beethoven and Carl Maria von Weber. Brodmann then went on to teach Ignaz Bösendorfer his methods, and if you know the piano world, you know the Bösendorfer piano brand is still considered among the finest in the world. Which brings us to the modern day Brodmann Pianos. 

The modern day Brodmann piano consists of the best of the best materials. Let’s start with the soundboard.

The soundboard is made out of premium German Alpine Spruce Wood from Strunz. Yeah, THE Strunz soundboard, renowned for it’s clear Viennese sound. (Which means it sounds really good.) Each soundboard is handmade, planed and tapered to the most intricate specifications from the finest Alpine Spruce.

The strings are German Röslau Strings which are, again, the best available. Each string is specifically made for every model of Brodmann piano which gives each piano the most amount of sound and the best quality of tone.

The Brodmann Piano Rims are built like a pretty fortress. They are made of the hardest Beech and Maple wood and are built to last generations. AKA these pianos will outlive you. They are accompanied by a solid spruce bracing, which allows for the tremendous power and tonal projection of these fine pianos.

One of the unique features of the Brodmann pianos is their "Bell Tone" or treble bell collector. This feature collects the harmonics in the upper register which creates a clear, bell-like quality sound. I could continue, but if I were to list every feature of these pianos, this blog post would turn into a book. (I'm sure you get just how good these are by now.)

With all of that said, here is why you should choose Brodmann over Steinway. A brand new 7 foot Brodmann 212 is only $44,000 in comparison to the Steinway B which is $142,000. All of the prices are below half of what a Steinway costs, with just as good, if not better sound. If you’re looking for a brand new piano that won’t break the bank and looks, plays and sounds amazing, a Brodmann piano is your choice.
