Ritmüller
The Ultimate Expression of German Piano Heritage
A Legacy Reborn
Since its establishment in 1795, Ritmüller rapidly gained recognition and became renowned for its pioneering approach to piano production in Europe. Numerous eminent composers of the 19th century, including Johannes Brahms, held a deep admiration for Ritmüller pianos, with Brahms frequently playing on a Ritmüller in Göttingen. Ritmüller pianos today combine classical European artisanal techniques and components with advanced computer numerical control technologies, resulting in a range of instruments that produce the characteristic warm and rich tone that defines a world-class German piano. Ritmüller remains committed to pursuing excellence in design and performance that is worthy of its esteemed reputation.
Answering to a Higher Standard
Every model of Ritmüller piano is constructed on the bedrock of European piano design. Employing techniques such as wet sand-casting for iron plates, using close-grained solid spruce for soundboards, and incorporating German hammers and felt, rock maple bridges and pin-blocks, Ritmüller upholds the highest standards in crafting both upright and grand pianos.
A Favorite of the Maestro
Johannes Brahms, a prominent German composer, pianist, and conductor from the Romantic period, is often regarded as the inspiration for many composers who came after him, and his works remain a staple in modern concert repertoires. Alongside Johann Sebastian Bach and Ludwig van Beethoven, he is famously known as one of the “Three Bs” of music. Brahms, recognized for his unwavering dedication to perfection, played a Ritmüller piano while in the German city of Göttingen. It was in the Ritmüller’s private performance hall that another composer heard Brahms working on two symphonic pieces and suggested that he combine them to create his renowned Piano Concerto No. 1 in D minor, Op. 15.
An Appreciation of Nature
Ritmüller is dedicated to the careful and conscientious use of natural resources. Our sustainable production procedures have earned us both environmental certification to ISO 14001 and management certification to ISO 9001, providing proof of our responsibility.
