Joseph Brodmann is one of the most famous people in the piano industry’s rich history.
Brodmann was one of the early piano builders and developed a workshop in Austria in the early 1800s that made some of the finest pianos of the day.
His specific contribution is considered the development of soundboards that could withstand the increased string tension desired by the leading pianists at the time. In 1828, his workshop was taken over by his leading apprentice, Ignaz Bosendorfer, and ultimately became the piano industry giant, Bosendorfer.
Birth of Brodmann Pianos
In the 1990s, Bosendorfer looked into creating a new line of pianos that would be manufactured in China. While it decided not to introduce the piano under its corporate umbrella, rights to the piano were purchased by several employees, who gave it the name of Ignaz Bosendorfer's original teacher, Joseph Brodmann, and formed the Joseph Brodmann Piano Group.Brodmann Another "World" Piano
Today, the Brodmann piano is widely considered to be the best piano manufactured in China. Like the Albert Weber, it is another example of the “world" pianos that are changing the industry. Brodmann pianos were originally designed by Bosendorfer engineers and are being refined by Brodmann’s engineers, who are located in Vienna, Austria.It is manufactured in the Brodmann factory in China with parts that are sourced from North America, Europe and Asia. Furthermore, Brodmann is developing a Vienna Edition of its pianos that will use the same design, but will be hand-built in Vienna using European components. its strongest models are its 5/4" PE 162 baby grand and its 6'2' PR 187 grands. Brodmann also makes several highly-regarded upright models as well.
