The August Hoffman piano company originated in Stockholm, Sweden in 1838. For over 150 years, the company experienced great success. August Hoffman pianos were highly regarded for their incredible durability and singing musical tone. While the company’s Swedish operations officially ceased in 1988, the Asian piano conglomerate Dong-Bei Piano Group continues to make August Hoffman pianos to this day.
One of the most notable talking points about August Hoffman is the robustness of their designs. Their pianos were specifically engineered to withstand drastic temperature and humidity swings from season to season. From long, dry winters to hot, humid summers, August Hoffman’s will endure while providing impressively stable tuning and action. Given that the Swedish climate is quite comparable to the Canadian climate, the August Hoffmann lines have become popular choices in the Canadian piano market.
