Feurich Grand Piano Review | Living Pianos

This pianos was made by Feurich, a top-tier German piano manufacturer (not to be confused with the Chinese pianos available today bearing the Feurich name). The level of craftsmanship, and the choice of materials is on the highest echelon of piano building. This piano features a Renner action which is all original and in fantastic condition.

Crotch mahogany (also referred to as flame or figured mahogany), is wood taken from where the limb separates from the main trunk of the tree or where the trunk splits. This is what creates the highly detailed, swirled woodgrain.

The sound of this piano is as clear as a bell, with singing, pure treble, and rich, full bass. So, this is a piano with top-notch performance and stunning cabinet.

5'8" sounds more like a 7'! what a magnificent sound!!

I almost got a Feurich about 20 years ago, when R. Kassman of SF was the sole US importer. He was marking them up massively, because they were so well made, and the wood veneers were spectacular. It's too bad that Feurich of Germany collapsed, and is mostly made in China now. But the big ones are partially Vienniese i believe and they have a very interesting harmonic pedal option on their grands.

Gorgeous music and wonderful piano. I just made a down payment on a Feurich 227 today. Hell bent on a Steinway Model B until I glanced over to discover this 7'6" beauty. I am sooo excited!!

Hey i watch your videos a lot and find them incredibly helpful and interesting, i was wondering if you could show us the best practice routine. i would love the help

[SirenoftheVoid]

This is gorgeous, a beauty of great proportions and elegance. Tje sounds are so good! This is inspiring me to look for this kind of piano later on.

This is definitely a product of the Gunzenhausen factory. The mahogany panel work is typical of the craftsmen that worked there. Julius Feurich (now working for Seiler) gave me a tour of the entire factory in February 1987.

Lovely instrument and big sound for 5‘8“ sounds like 7‘

Mr. Estrin, I have followed you for about 2 years now and found your videos informative and sincere and if I were to buy a piano (I am not a potential customer as I live in Scotland and my family has 5 excellent pianos - all magnificently maintained) you would be the first person to contact. Your love of music and pianos is so obvious that I would trust you without reservation. I was surprised when you teamed up with Stillwell Pianos as their procedure has been to not list piano prices on the internet, but instead to require potential customers to call for a price. This is, as we know, often standard procedure in the piano business but I find it hokey and manipulative. I am pleased to find out you still list your prices on the internet and good for you! However, I am curious in how you come up with a price, then line through it, and give a 2nd price for which a piano is actually for sale. For example, today you have an 1875 Steinway where the crossed out price is $151, 000 and the actual for sale price is $35, 350. Where and how do you come up with these 1st crossed out prices.

Feurichs are the best. I'd love to see and hear a bigger art case model. I saw evidence of someone trying to sell a 7'2" parlor grand 70s vintage but no recording or pictures....too bad

[luizfelipesouto]

Beautiful grand piano. The treble sounds very well.

[AnnaKhomichkoPianist]

Very interesting information and video, thank you!

[MrFrapado]

Beautiful looking& sounding piano.
Robert, hope your laryngitis gets better 😘

[jordidewaard]

I also have a German Feurich, though it's the 170cm version

[oooodaxteroooo]

Regarding the pronounciation of the name in the beginning: Feurich (foyrig) = feiry.

[magedmakram]

I own an A Proksch grand piano nearly built in the early 1900 may be German or Austrian it looks very similar to the one you are playing even the colour but all the strings are prallel i would like to ask you if i can tune it on 440Hz because the strings are the same age as the piano and do you have any idea if it has viennes or english key actions and are there any difference and how do I know
Thanks

[KeepingOnTheWatch]

What a piano! Does anyone know what differences can be found in the original Feurich instruments as opposed to those that are built today? Quality of wood? action? tone? (I take it that a Chinese made piano will not have a Renner action)

[pbasswil]

The makers of this piano wouldn't know what you meant by 'Fiur-rick'. If you get ambitious you could try 'Foy-reesh', which wouldn't be the _exact_ German way, but would be recognizable to them.

Sounds like you really struggled with the Chopin scherzo?
