Grotrian-Steinweg pianos was founded in 1835 by Henry Steinweg (Steinway in the US). Prominent piano maker Friedrich Grotrian, became a partner of the company and his sons eventually purchased Grotrian-Steinweg in 1865. Through trademark conflicts with Steinway who had branched his manufacturing to the US, Grotrian dropped Steinweg from it’s name for US operations. Pianists of the time, notably Ignacy Jan Paderewski and Clara Schumann, preferred the premium build of Grotrian-Steinweg pianos.

Grotrian was the first manufacturer to construct the piano with an iron frame connected only at the back frame- allowing for a unique free vibration tone, among other innovations including a homogenous soundboard, string scale for accurate hammer strikes, and the star-shaped back frame.
Grotrian produces 6 sizes of German-built Grand Pianos (5 - 9feet) and 5 German-built Upright Pianos sizes (44.5 - 52 inches).
Their Wilhelm Grotrian line of pianos that are assembled in Asia and finished in their Germany factory, provide a more affordable alternative to purchasing German made Grotrians. Wilhelm Grotrian upright and grand piano are built with Renner action, Kluge keys, and sitka spruce soundboards.
