Blüthner Pianos
Since its inception in 1853, Blüthner Pianos has enjoyed tremendous
success accredited to astonishing quality. Even today, Blüthner pianos
are considered some of the most eloquent and fine pianos produced.
The Aliquot System
Blüthner's major contribution to the development of the piano was the
Aliquot system, whereby the tone, duration, and power of the upper notes
are enhanced by unstruck, resonating strings set in motion by sympathetic
vibration. This device gives the piano a lighter, more silvery tone than
those of its rivals. To this day, the system is used exclusively by Blüthner
Pianos.
