Comments
Most older Ronisch pianos date form 1890 to 1920. There are some very tall uprights that are sonorous and with a light fluid touch. Grands of this period are also well made. Ronisch passed through the “Iron curtain” period and from WW2 to about 1990 the pianos were of inferior quality. Modern Ronisch pianos are now made in conjunction with Pfeiffer and Bluthner; there are very few of these in the UK
