In 1875 when German Immigrant Hugo Wertheim arrived in Australia, it
was to be the start of a new era for Australia and piano manufacturing.
Hugo imported Wertheim pianos from Germany until he opened the
Wertheim piano factory at Bendigo Street Richmond in 1908. This state
of the art factory produced high quality Wertheim pianos and many of
these pianos take pride of place in many Australian homes and venues.
Wertheim was the piano of choice for many great performing musicians
including Dame Nellie Melba. The Wertheim concert grand piano from the
Melbourne Tivoli theater can be played in an art gallery in South
Melbourne. This piano is now proudly owned by a Melbourne professor.
Wertheim pianos have always maintained a very high standard of tonal
colour and precise touch.
With the introduction of radio and the effects of the great
depression the Australian Wertheim factory was closed and production
was moved to an Asian factory that was also producing pianos for Yamaha.
Wertheim pianos are still manufactured in this factory to our strict
Australian quality control using the very best materials to maintain
the Wertheim European tone and touch. This factory also manufactures
pianos for Steinway.
Wertheim pianos are the best value pianos you can buy. If you are
not getting the Wertheim story you are not getting the real piano
story.
Wertheim Pianos is still an Australian owned brand and Piano Time is
very proud to have control of the manufacture and distribution for
these great pianos for the international market.
Every Wertheim piano is inspected by our Australian quality control
specialists before they are shipped to our international distributors. |

the Wertheim Platinum pianos are superior pianos. The touch and tone
colour is sensational.

If you are not getting the Wertheim story you are not getting the real piano story.
