President

Imperial Edition Design Piano

Bluthner President Imperial Edition Grand Piano

This design of the President piano was created to please the discerning connoisseur using the acoustic construction of our Blüthner Classic grand pianos. It offers a more ornate outside, with moulded liners on the key bottom, chamfers at the top lid, a delicately carved music desk and a combination of rare veneers such as pyramid mahogany, birdseye maple, bubinga or burl walnut.

Exquisite Features, Exceptional Craftsmanship

Bluthner aliquot patent

A rich, warm and colourful sound

All Blüthner Imperial Edition grand pianos are equipped with the Blüthner Aliquot patent. In the highest treble section of our grand pianos, each note is assigned a fourth string, which is slightly raised from the others and not struck by the hammerheads. The aliquot string resonates in unison with the note played, thereby amplifying it and creating a rich, warm and colourful sound. The system was developed by Julius Blüthner over a century and a half ago and is considered a key facet of the Blüthner Golden Tone.

Bluthner Model One Grand Piano

Ultimate precision and control

The keyboard is the component through which the pianist expresses their musicality and connects with the piano. With over five-and-a-half thousand moving parts within the action and damper structure alone, utmost precision is required to enable a responsive touch from gentle pianissimo to vigorous fortissimo, whilst retaining full control. To achieve excellent stability, the key bed is manufactured of alternate layers of Red Beech and German Pine, whereas the keys of our instruments are made of fine Bavarian Mountain Spruce and high-density Ebony. White key tops are made of acrylic. Height and depth of touch are meticulously weighted and adjusted for ultimate precision and control.

Traditionally crafted iron frame

The iron frame is cast in a quartz sand mould using traditional methods. To withstand the enormous tension of nearly twenty tonnes, the design of each frame is precisely calculated and manufactured. Each frame is seasoned outside for two years before being sprayed to a high quality-finish and individually fitted to an instrument.
