Bluthner Model 1 Concert Grand Piano (9’2”) – Used
Description
This Blüthner Model 1 was sold brand new by PianoCraft in 2002 and has been serviced PianoCraft since its delivery. This piano has undergone typical restoration for an instrument of its age that was used for both concertizing and teaching. It is in EXCELLENT condition and is a steal at the price listed.
Considered to be one of the top piano manufacturers in the world, Blüthner (founded in 1853) is often compared with Bösendorfer and German Steinways and rated above American Steinways. Blüthner pianos have beech rims, solid spruce soundboards, Delignit pinblocks, Renner actions, custom Abel hammers, and feature their exclusive patented Aliquot system and are known for their clarity and singing qualities. Nothing sounds like a Blüthner!
PianoCraft’s inventory has featured many classic Blüthner grands throughout the years. If you are interested in owning one of these classic German pianos, please contact us at 888-840-5460 or mail@pianocraft.net. If we do not have a preowned Blüthner currently in stock, we are more than happy to conduct a custom search for you free of charge.

Unique aliquot – A rich, warm and colourful sound
All Blüthner grand pianos (with the exception of the model 11, our smallest grand piano) are equipped with the Blüthner Aliquot patent. In the highest treble section of our grand pianos, each note is assigned a fourth string, which is slightly raised from the others and not struck by the hammerheads. The aliquot string resonates in unison with the note played, thereby amplifying it and creating a rich, warm and colourful sound. The system was developed by Julius Blüthner over 150 years ago and is considered a key facet of the Blüthner Golden Tone.
Keyboard – Ultimate precision and control
The keyboard is the component through which the pianist expresses their musicality and connects with the piano. With over five-and-a-half thousand moving parts within the action and damper structure alone, utmost precision is required to enable a responsive touch from gentle pianissimo to vigorous fortissimo, whilst retaining full control. To achieve excellent stability, the key bed is manufactured of alternate layers of Red Beech and German Pine, whereas the keys of our instruments are made of fine Bavarian Mountain Spruce and high-density Ebony. White key tops are made of acrylic. Height and depth of touch are meticulously weighted and adjusted for ultimate precision and control.
Frame construction – Traditionally crafted iron frame
The iron frame is cast in a quartz sand mould using traditional methods. To withstand the enormous tension of nearly twenty tonnes, the design of each frame is precisely calculated and manufactured. Each frame is seasoned outside for two years before being sprayed to a high quality-finish and individually fitted to an instrument.
