Company History

Europe's industrial revlution at the end of the 19th century created a boom for the piano industry in what is today known as the Czech Republic. As early as 1871, in the picturesque city of Jihlava, the pianos were produced in partnership with 'Hoffman & Czerny', an Austrian company. Constantly striving to innovate and improve - that was and remains the hallmark of Bohemia Piano.

In 1945, the factory was placed under so-called state management and a couple of years afterwards finally nationalised and incorporated into the newly established company, 'Piano and Organ factories'. Unfortunately, after more than 40 years of this centralisation, all specific construction and sound characteristics of pianos were inevitably lost. The Velvet Revolution in 1989 opened new opportunities for private enterprise, allowing the company to escape the giant and find again some of its former individuality. In 1993 the Bohemia Piano company returned to its roots. The company was once again privately owned, under the leadreship of Stanislav Kremanak in charge of production and Miroslav tauchman for design and engineering. Bohemia Piano expanded from the original factory in Jihlava to a second factory in Hradec Kralove. Both factories handcraft pianos with Bohemia's trademark, the mellow European sound in beautiful cases and selected veneers.

Enjoying ever increasing acclaim from both piano dealers and musicians, Bohemia's handcrafted upright and grand pianos are steadily increasing their share of the international and domestic piano market.
