Schulze Pollmann SU172 – The Italian Grand Piano of Distinction

The Schulze Pollmann SU172 represents the meeting of two great traditions: German engineering excellence and Italian artistic refinement. The company’s roots stretch back to the late 1920s, when two respected German piano makers combined their knowledge and craftsmanship in Bolzano, Italy. From that union, Schulze Pollmann was born — and to this day it remains one of the most exclusive piano builders in the world.

At 172 cm (5’8”), the SU172 grand piano is a perfect expression of this heritage. Its dimensions make it versatile enough for refined homes, professional studios, and intimate concert settings, while its voice commands respect well beyond its size. With a warm, resonant bass and a clear, lyrical treble, the SU172 embodies the tonal ideals of the European tradition while expressing them through unmistakable Italian artistry.

Just as Ferrari, Lamborghini, Bulgari, and Maserati define Italian luxury in their worlds, Schulze Pollmann holds this position in the world of fine pianos. Each instrument is crafted in Italy with uncompromising attention to detail, reflecting the elegance and passion that Italian culture is known for worldwide. The SU172 is as much a work of art as it is a musical instrument — an heirloom piano designed to inspire for generations.

In today’s piano world, Schulze Pollmann holds a unique place as the only Italian maker of both upright and grand pianos. Its instruments embody authenticity, exclusivity, and heritage. For those who dream of an Italian piano, the natural comparison is Fazioli. While Fazioli is renowned for its concert grands, it does not produce uprights or pianos in this size class — and its instruments command prices far beyond the reach of most buyers. The SU172 captures the same passion, refinement, and artistry associated with Fazioli, but at a fraction of the cost, making it an extraordinary value for anyone seeking an Italian piano.

Owning the SU172 is more than acquiring a fine instrument; it is embracing the culture of Italy itself. As timeless as couture, as inspiring as opera, and as thrilling as a Ferrari in motion, the Schulze Pollmann SU172 is designed for those who demand not only world-class performance, but also a piano that makes a bold statement of luxury, heritage, and passion.
