Description

Schulze Pollmann SU186

The Italian Grand Piano of Distinction

Italian Elegance, German Heritage

The Schulze Pollmann SU186 is more than a piano — it is a symbol of Italian artistry and refinement. Handcrafted in Italy, this 6’1″ grand reflects the same spirit that defines the world’s most celebrated Italian icons: Ferrari, Maserati, Lamborghini, Bulgari, and Gucci. Where other instruments are mass-produced, Schulze Pollmann creates — instruments that embody individuality, craftsmanship, and soul.

The company itself represents a union of traditions: born from the merger of two respected German piano builders in the 1920s and transplanted into the heart of Italy, Schulze Pollmann combines German engineering precision with Italian design flair. Today, every SU186 carries that dual heritage — rigorous structure with unmistakable style.

The Voice of Italian Luxury

With its select, aged spruce soundboard, individually voiced hammers, and meticulously regulated action, the SU186 produces a warm, lyrical tone that sings with clarity. Its bass is resonant and powerful, while the treble sparkles with bell-like purity. This is a piano whose voice inspires — from intimate études to concert repertoire.

Owning a Schulze Pollmann means joining a world where sound, beauty, and tradition meet. It is the same world that values the passion behind Ferrari’s performance, Maserati’s elegance, Lamborghini’s bold design, Bulgari’s refinement, and Gucci’s timeless style. Yet unlike the only other Italian piano maker, Fazioli, Schulze Pollmann offers this extraordinary artistry at a fraction of the cost — while also standing alone as the only Italian maker of both grand and upright pianos.
