Collection: Currier Pianos

Currier pianos, known for their affordability and quality, were a popular choice for beginner and intermediate pianists. Founded in the mid-20th century, Currier Piano Company produced a range of pianos appreciated for their durability and ease of maintenance. These pianos featured solid construction and a pleasant tone, making them ideal for home use. A unique aspect of Currier pianos is their ability to retain value over time if properly maintained, unlike many entry-level keyboards that tend to depreciate quickly. This quality, combined with their compact size, made Currier pianos a favored option for those seeking a reliable and space-efficient instrument.

Currier Pianos have a deeper historical significance, starting in 1823 with the establishment of Currier & Company in Boston. Known for their quality craftsmanship and use of premium hardwoods, Currier pianos were notable for their innovations, such as the "Curriercote" protective finish introduced in 1977. This finish protected the wood from scratches, water damage, and even cigarette burns, preserving the piano's heirloom value.

Despite their popularity and quality, Currier Pianos faced stiff competition from Japanese and Korean manufacturers, leading to their decline and eventual discontinuation in 1982. The manufacturing operation, located in North Carolina, benefited from the region's skilled artisans and natural resources, which contributed to the high quality of their instruments.
