‘Weber Pianos’ was founded in 1986 and like Young Chang, is available today. Interestingly, Young Chang also manufactures ‘Weber’ pianos, a name adopted knowing the European bias towards the German piano manufacturers. Today, they are still producing pianos and remain amongst the largest manufactures of pianos. From the mid-nineteen-sixties, Young Chang produced pianos from Seoul and Incheon in South Korea, adding a Chinese-based factory in 1995. They are a large company not only manufacturing pianos but also apparently supplying wood for instruments across the world. Young Chang according to various sources holds an impressive fifty-percent of the South Korean piano market. What may be the appeal with Bergmann pianos is that they are not in the same price range as what could be considered to be the leading piano manufactures. Opinions about the Bergmann grand pianos are also very mixed, with equal concerns about the quality of the build, the engineering of the mechanisms, and the sound. The general advice seems to be fairly consistent to consider a Kawai or Yamaha piano instead. From discussion forums, I have gathered that the opinion of many pianists is that the Bergmann upright pianos are not, or were not made to reliable or consistent standards. The Bergmann/Young-Chang pianos would appear to be available in both upright and grand varieties and so appeal to all budgets and levels of performer. This might make any further research you decide to do a little easier especially if you are actively searching for a new instrument. The correct name for these instruments is, from the research, I have undertaken, are Bergmann/Young-Chang pianos. I perhaps ought to begin by taking a small sidestep and explain that the title Bergmann pianos is not really what they are. Following on from the article I wrote recently about Petrof pianos, we continue to explore the options for buying or renting a new piano with a review of ‘Bergman’ Pianos.
