Kranich & Bach was founded in 1864 in New York, NY by Helmuth Kranich and Jacques Bach. In 1873
they set up a factory located at 237 E. 23rd St. In 1890 the firm incorporated, with Frederick and Alvin
Kranich, sons of Helmuth, and Louis P. Bach, sons of Jacques, serving as directors and officers.
Kranich & Sons then became a trade name also used. Kranich & Bach also manufactured the 4' 9"
Grandette grand piano beginning in 1934, capitalizing on the consumer demand for smaller pianos in
smaller spaces. Kranich & Bach was acquired by Winter & Co. of New York in 1946, which eventually
became part of the conglomerate, Aeolian Corp. in 1959. Wurlitzer then purchased the name, and
then it went to Baldwin when they purchased Wurlitzer in 1995. Baldwin had pianos bearing this name
made for them by the Beijing Piano Co. in China. In 2001, Gibson Guitars acquired the Kranich &
Bach name when they purchased Baldwin but currently is not making Kranich & Bach pianos.
