What is sohmer piano?

Sohmer & Co. was a piano manufacturer founded in 1872 in New York City by Hugo Sohmer. The company quickly gained a reputation for producing high-quality, luxurious pianos, and became one of the most respected piano brands in the United States.

Sohmer pianos are known for their rich, warm tone and durable construction. The company incorporated innovative features in their pianos, such as the deeply curved key bed, which provided greater strength and stability to the instrument.

Sohmer pianos were often favored by professional musicians, institutions, and wealthy individuals who appreciated the high level of craftsmanship and attention to detail that went into each instrument.

Although Sohmer & Co. ceased production in the late 1980s, their pianos continue to be sought after for their superior sound quality and timeless design. Many vintage Sohmer pianos are still in use today and are considered prized possessions by collectors and enthusiasts.
