HISTORY AND BACKGROUND
Schulze Pollmann was formed in 1928 in Italy by two recently immigrated, successful German piano builders. Paul Pollmann had extensive experience working for both Ibach and Steinway & Sons, before opening his own factory in Germany. In 1923, Pollmann relocated his factory to Italy as did Albert Schulze, and in 1928, the two companies had merged to form Schulze Pollmann, quickly earning a reputation for quality, which endures today.
While Schulze Pollamann manufactures pianos in several levels of quality, only two lines are offered for distribution in North America; the Masterpiece Series grands, and the Studio Series uprights. The Masterpiece Series grand pianos are hand made entirely in Italy and represent Schulze Pollmanns’ highest-quality offering, with premium components such as Renner actions, Abel hammers, Roslau strings, and solid red spruce soundboards sourced from the famed Val Di Fiemme in Italy.
Masterpiece Series grands are offered in two sizes; the 5’3” 160 and the 6’6” 197.
Studio Series uprights utilize strung-backs from Asia, and are then shipping to Italy for final assembly and factory preparation. The soundboards, strings, and hammers are built with the same components as the Masterpiece Series grand pianos, and are offered in three sizes; the 45” SU115, 46” SU118A, and the 48” SU122A.
Schulze Pollmann function as a solid entry-level European alternative option to similarly priced Japanese built pianos.
