Kranich & Bach was originally founded in 1864 in New York, by Helmuth Kranich and Jacques Bach. The company was known for their well made, expensive pianos, along with their lavish use of exotic woods and unique cabinet styles. The pianos' superior tone and construction, was an esteemed hallmark of the company. By 1891, some 27 years after the company was founded, Kranich & Bach claimed to have built as many as 25,000 pianos, selling them nationwide. In 1946, Kranich & Bach was acquired by Winter & Co. of New York, which eventually became part of the Aeolian-American Corporation conglomerate in 1959. The company continued to build Kranich & Bach pianos until 1981. The K&B name was acquired by Wurlitzer, and then by Baldwin in 1988, along with the Wurlitzer name.
