KURTZMANN PIANOS | A GOLDEN ERA PIANO MAKER
Among the numerous piano makers in operation during the late 19th and early 20th century, C. Kurtzmann & Company contributed to the true ‘golden era’ of piano making in both quality and quantity. Christian Kurtzmann was born in Mecklenburg, Germany in 1815. A piano craftsman by trade, like many of his fellow Europeans, he set forth to America to stake his fortune. Settling in Buffalo, New York, he began to produce instruments in his personal workshop in 1848. In the late 1850s, he went into partnership with a Mr. Hinze, and the company Kurtzmann & Hinze was born. This partnership did not seem to last long, and within a few years, the partnership was split and Christian began the production of pianos under solely his own brand name of Kurtzmann.

Now building pianos with his personal name attached to their fallboards, Christian Kurtzmann set about to grow his business. As fate would have it, the late 19th century saw the rise of the piano industry as a major American manufacturing force. The golden age of the piano was here. During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the piano grew to become not just a popular musical instrument, but the premier home entertainment system. Kurtzmann built a reputation for exacting quality and Christian personally supervised the crafting of the factory’s pianos.
Christian would not live to see the full expansion of the piano business, as he passed in 1886. His sons, Louis S. and Charles had been brought into the music industry at an early age. Charles forged out on his own and opened a music and piano gallery in Buffalo. Louis would be the son to continue his father’s manufacturing legacy. He formed a partnership with other area businessmen and took his place as the head of the Kurtzmann piano company.
Louis S. Kurtzmann no doubt appreciated his good fortune. He had risen to become head of a piano industry at a moment when demand was soaring. The company had worked to expand its offerings to include square grand pianos, uprights, and ‘modern’ grand pianos. A new larger factory on Niagra Street in Buffalo allowed the company to output approx. 2,500 pianos each week.
Their sales network grew to include 200 dealers throughout the nation. Kurtzmann appears to have had a special focus on the appearance of their instruments and the quality of their veneers is evident in surviving examples today.
