Julius Bluthner is known for making some of the finest pianos in Europe’s history. Bluthner established his firm in 1853 in Leipzig, Germany. The firm quickly earned the reputation for building durable, high quality instruments and by the end of the 19th Century they were considered some of the finest pianos in Europe. Famous pianists including Franz Liszt praised Bluthner’s instruments for their tone and durability. Julius Bluthner died in 1910, and his sons Robert, Max and Bruno took control of the firm. The Bluthner family continued to operate the firm until the factory was destroyed in World War 2. Although Bluthner continued to build pianos, it was not until 1990 that the Bluthner family again gained control of operations.
博兰斯勒有业内人士叫 布吕特纳(Blūthner)
在许多制造商竞相生产出最有力度的钢琴的年代,布吕特纳却另辟蹊径,生产一种不那么突出但音色圆润的钢琴,能很好地为歌声和其他的乐器伴奏.布吕特纳圆润温暖的音色特别适合室内乐或伴奏.
朱利斯-布吕特纳(Julius Bluthner)是的法国尔肯海姆(Falkenheim)做家具的工人,1853年创立了他自己的钢琴业务.尽管他开始时资金有限,但他的钢琴却在1854年的慕尼黑工业博览会上被广为接受.这导致他受到莱比锡传统音乐的实验室的委托.在很短的时间内,他的钢琴就在全世界范围内被公认为是优质的乐器.立式钢琴的生产开始于1864年,他的137名雇员迁到莱比锡郊区更大的工厂去工作.到了十九世纪末布吕特纳成为欧洲第二大钢琴制造商,生产了约50 000架乐器.据说每一架钢琴出厂前都由朱利斯本人亲自检验.1910年朱利斯-布吕特纳去世后,公司由他的三个儿子马克斯(Max),罗伯特(Robert)和布鲁诺(Bruno)接管,业务稳步扩展,直到二次大战期间,工厂毁于空袭的炮火.
战后,公司由鲁道夫-布吕特纳-哈斯勒花了多年重新建立起来,并曾短期内在德意志民主共和国政府的控制下,使用着贝赫斯坦的设备.这么做固然会产出组织上的问题,但是那些钢琴仍然是用手工制成,令人羡慕的音质丝毫无损.1989年,布吕特纳的曾孙英格伯特和英格伯特的儿子克努特的指导下继续在莱比锡生产.
1935年,德国海军上将请布吕特纳制作一架轻型大钢琴在海登堡航空展上演奏.这场演出被电台转播,使人们对布吕特纳钢琴的兴趣大增!
制作特征:
钢琴手工优质,音色温暖平衡.为保证音色均一而使得工序复杂,例如在琴锤安装前,要平衡锤柄音高,这就是所谓的处理音质.
木料选材讲究:梅克伦堡的松木,南部德国山区的山毛榉木,东阿尔卑斯山的云杉,枫木,以及恺木.
使用单弦结构,改善了调音稳定性,并便于处理琴弦断裂的情况.
等分音阶系统在高音琴弦上方使用了第四根弦,琴锤锤不到它,只是用于加强共振.其余的琴弦被调至高于实际音符八度,为钢琴的上部提供泛音效果.
布吕特纳的大钢琴专利连动装置直到1920年才投入使用.
