Blüthner Model 6
Kim's Piano is one of the few showrooms in the country where you can find a full selection of Blüthner grands and uprights to play
Origin : Julius Blüthner Pianofortefabrik in Leipzig, Germany
Orientation: Blüthner makes a full range of grand piano sizes, the Model 2 is their semi-concert grand at 238 cm / 7’8”
Maker: Blüthner is one of the world’s most renowned pianomakers
Fit & Finish: a beautiful piano with exquisite craftsmanship. They use a bird’s eye maple on the inner rim and their signature Blüthner blue felt.
Hammers: Abel hammers from Germany, which are cold pressed and a softer hammer than the Renner blues commonly chosen by German high end makers.
Action: Renner action built in Germany - Renner is used by nearly all top European brands. Blüthner’s proprietary geometry and hammer choice give their action a lighter feel.
Touch, responsiveness, control: The touch is lighter and highly responsive. It rewards a higher level of control with even more colors and nuances making it a joy to get to know and to grow with over time.
Soundboard: solid White European spruce. Slow-growth spruce trees from the Alps are 150-250 years old, providing the optimal density and flexibility for exceptionally resonant soundboards. Blüthner crafts their soundboard in a unique cylindrical crown that adds to their clarity and focus and overall stability up and down the entire scale.
4th String aliquot: The Blüthner sound can rarely be discussed without noting Julius Blüthner’s 4th string Aliquot. Where piano generally have 3 strings per note in the treble, Blüthner adds a 4th string and raises it so it is not struck directly by the hammer. It resonates from the energy of the neighboring strings, adding color and fullness to the last two octaves, giving those top notes a true bell-like quality.
Tone: The Blüthner has the clarity and purity you would expect from a top tier German maker, favoring a crystalline brilliance and warmth. The Blüthner is expressive, delicate as well as powerful. The Model 2 sings at every dynamic level. The bass is very transparent, which allows the player to play more notes more densely together while remaining distinct and recognizable. Its a characteristic that tends to diminish when the bass is more rumbly, but the bass is not lacking in power. Blüthners are designed to sing and ring out rather than roar. It also allows for easier phrasing, increasing the player’s ability to emphasize melody lines or accents wherever they may fall on the scale.
Music that shines: Any of the top tier pianomakers at this level can express the full 3 centuries of piano music with great credibility and beauty. Rachmaninoff, Prokofiev, Shastakovich and Mahler were known to have composed many of their works on Blüthner pianos, while Debussy chose his Blüthner piano when he fell in love with the sound of a newly innovated 4th string aliquot model and composed his entire repertoire on the Blüthner, to give a few hallmarks.

Beautiful tone. The clarity of the bass….wow!
Wow. I am just blown away by the sound of this piano. The tone is just exquisite! 😯🤤
I have been dreaming of hearing Debussy's Arabesque being played on a Blüthner for such a long time. Thank you.
And thank you for watching!
Sorry I haven't studied the Arabesque or I would play it, I own a 1914 Bluthner 190cm Aliquot grand
I think that this is a beautifully balanced instrument, and even though it's a 6'3 scale which is regarded as a mid-sized piano, it actually sounds like a larger piano. The bass strings are as long as in some 7' pianos. For my particular tastes this piano is perhaps a little on the bright side but it doesn't put me off because I know a piano like this can be voiced to the customer's specification. I actually have two of these in my studio at home in Alabama. I bought them when I lived in the UK and had them shipped over because I couldn't find a better instrument.
....when I say it's a little bright for my taste I don't mean I don't like the sound. Your piano has a glorious sound.
Great observations! And that sounds like quite the home studio setup!!
It is so awesome that you ship two Bluthner Pianos from the UK to Alabama for your house.
@@hollykwan4036 They are beautiful. There's no doubt in my mind that Blüthner is one of the finest instruments made and believe me it was much cheaper to bring my own pianos (that I already owned) over here than it was to sell them and buy another Blüthner here! Also no import tax because I've owned them for so long.
@@josephfleetwood3882 You have made the correct decision. I would love ship my piano one day from Scotland to Texas.
I appreciate your pointing to the tight bass. I am wondering what I did when I sold my last grand. It took me 2 years, lots of playing and listening, and thousands of miles to find it. One of the tonal qualities that I loved about it was its tight bass. When those low notes are called for, they should ring clean and clear, stand out, and make the necessary statement. Thanks for the demo.
Definitely! At over 6 feet in length, this model can definitely extend and generate those lower notes with tremendous clarity. Thanks so much for tuning in!!
Exquisite

We appreciate you tuning in!
