Description
Chappell pianos are a notable part of British piano-making history, dating back to the establishment of Chappell & Co. in 1811 by Samuel Chappell in London. Originally, Chappell was renowned as a music publishing company, working with prominent composers like Mendelssohn and Beethoven.
They began producing pianos in the mid-19th century and quickly became recognized for creating high-quality instruments. Chappell pianos are celebrated for their rich, warm tone, robust construction, and attention to craftsmanship, making them popular choices for both homes and performance spaces in Britain and beyond.
Production continued throughout the 20th century, and the brand eventually became part of Kemble & Co. before manufacturing moved overseas. Vintage Chappell pianos are still sought after today for their historical significance and solid, lasting sound quality.
