Feurich
The Feurich piano company was founded in 1851 in Leipzig, Germany, by Julius Gustav Feurich and has been family operated for five generations becoming renowned for the quality of its pianos. Today Feurich is owned by an Austrian piano manufacturer named Wendl & Lung, and the bulk of manufacturing is carried out in China.
History.
Artisanal piano making has a long tradition in Saxony. The city of Leipzig was, along with Paris, London, and Vienna, one of the pillars of European musical culture and music
was re-located to the outskirts of Gunzenhausen in the 1960s.
In 2012 Feurich was sold to a similar traditional Austrian piano manufacturer named Wendl & Lung, a piano manufacturer from Vienna founded in 1910. Wendl & Lung is picking up Feurich Pianos and Grand Pianos again, based on the same constructions as before. Starting in 2012, Feurich pianos and grand pianos are produced in Ningbo (China) and in Burscheid (West Germany).
