Gebr. Schulz pianos have become the strongest regional piano brand in the Rhinegau region of Germany for the past 125 years, since the Schulz family started their own piano business in 1888. The family have been involved in the piano industry since 1859, when Mr Helfferich and Mr Schulz were the co-owners of Grotrian, Helfferich, Schulz and TH Steinweg GmbH Pianos, in the nineteenth century, and Mr Schulz’s son Albert was the designer for Ibach pianos in the early 20th Century. They then set up their own Gebr. Schulz business, to make and sell pianos from their premises in Wiesbaden, Germany. This location is still the headquarters of Gebr. Schulz today. Here the flagship store as well as the master workshop are located and new piano designs as well as production techniques are developed for the whole world.
Today, Gebr. Schulz is run by Christoph Schulz, a fifth generation piano maker and his family. To further develop international markets, most importantly the U.S., the Schulz family collaborated with Frederik Steffes, formerly the owner of Wilh. Steinberg piano factory and Colin Taylor, formerly with Bösendorfer and the founder of Joseph Brodmann pianos. Through this, and the addition of A.GEYER as the entry-level brand of the company, Schulz became one of the largest piano companies from Germany.
A combination of traditional construction methods coupled with the heritage of the best of German design, they are able to produce the best quality pianos at a most affordable price. Concentrating on improvements to the design of the pianos including the action and keyboard, they have achieved great results producing a sound quality that is rarely found in instruments in this price category ever.
