PEARL RIVER Pianos

ABOUT PEARL RIVER

Since 1956, Pearl River Piano has operated several factories in Guangzhou, China, including the world’s largest piano factory. Recently a new state of the art woodworking facility has been completed to prepare the company for the next generation of manufacturing.
Core Building Features

Pearl River pianos feature hardwood rims, sand-cast plates, and lower tension scales, features found on the world’s best pianos such as Steinway, Bosendorfer and almost all other top tier pianos. These features are considered to be important to protecting the long-term durability of the piano’s tone, which can be affected over a period of time by changes to the soundboard’s “crown”, a problem which is thought to occur more rapidly on pianos that do not have these core features.

Quality Pearl River Pianos at Great Rates

Most Pearl River Pianos are considered entry-level pianos; however, some are manufactured to higher specifications with better materials. To improve product design and manufacturing efficiency, Pearl River automated and installed computer-generated design equipment. To boost quality, they brought in a raft of foreign industry executives as consultants and forged a $10 million joint venture with Yamaha in 1995. “We can study good management concepts,” says Tong Zhi Cheng, CEO of Pearl River.

Pearl River also releases special edition pianos, including the Butterfly Grand which is 198 centimetres and available in Silver or Blue and Pink finishes. Pearl River also produces a Ritmuller, a higher-end piano, for the Asian and European markets.
