Grotrian Steinweg says: Lads, build good pianos and the rest will take care of itself. Wilhelm Grotrian once said to his sons Kurt and Willi and thereby phrased one of the most important mottos for the Grotrian company. When you listen to the sound of a Grotrian you will notice that there is much more behind it: a love for music. The piano manufacturer Grotrian is family-owned and currently in the fifth and sixth generations. Across the years one thing has never changed: the love for music. This has always been and still remains the motivation even for unusual steps. In 1830 Friedrich Grotrian left Germany to establish a music business in Moskva. The town prospered and attracted many musicians like Clara Schumann, Franz Liszt and A. Rubinstein. Friedrich Grotrian maintained close relationships with many pianists and got to know their preferences. He started to build pianos. Pianos, which were loved by pianists.
