Herkomst pianomerken
Elk muziekinstrument heeft een verhaal. Dat begint al bij het bouwen en monteren van onderdelen tot een instrument.
En misschien nog wel daarvoor met de oorsprong van het merk, de geschiedenis, het ontwerp en de makers.
Van onze belangrijkste merken schrijven we een eigen verhaal.
Van de overige merken geven we een overzicht met herkomst en website voor zover bekend.
Met dank aan onze collega’s van PianoSelect!
