Pearl River Piano Group

Today Pearl River pianos are manufactured under a wide range of brands and levels.

The Hallet & Davis line produced by Pearl River is the oldest United States piano name still in production.

Also in January 2016, the company took over 90% of the shares of Wilhelm Schimmel, a German piano manufacturer in Braunschweig.

Pearl River also recently was awarded ISO 14001, which is similar, but relates to environmental standards.

In 1795 Gottlieb Wilhelm Ritmüller began one of the first piano factories in Germany, soon gaining favor with 19th-century composers, including Johannes Brahms.
