Estonia

The production of pianos began in Estonia at the end of the 18th century. At the beginning of the 20th century there were no less than 20 builders of pianos and the most striking was the manufacturer Ernst Hiis, whose handmade piano was the prototype for the Estonia piano.

The instruments have received various awards for their outstanding technique and were prominently represented on numerous concert halls of the East. More than 7500 concert instruments have been produced and pianists such as Sviatoslav Richter, Dmitry Shostakovitsch, Emil Gilels and Claudio Aurrau have performed on these fantastic pianos.

Since Estonia regained its independence in 1991, its current owner Indrek Laul has brought Estonia back to the high level of before.

Since 2001, Dr. Laul's family consisting of pianist Reet Laul and conductor Venno Laul, has taken the Estonia grand pianos to a level that fulfil the wishes of every owner/pianist.
