Pleyel Declares Bankruptcy

pleyel

One of the world’s oldest and most iconic piano makers, Pleyel, declared bankruptcy and closed its factory doors in Paris at the end of December, 2013.

Founded in 1807 by Ignaz Pleyel, a composer and music publisher, this emblematic brand had 200 years of history behind it and was a favorite of Chopin, Ravel, and Debussy.

What a shame!
