France - Piano maker closes
Print Edition
Pleyel, the illustrious French piano maker that crafted instruments for Ravel, Stravinsky and Chopin, has closed its factory doors, squeezed by high costs and competition from China.
While an existing stock of finished pianos will allow it to keep selling in the near future, it is looking at “alternate solutions” to continue production, Pleyel said in a brief statement, without elaborating.
The company’s factory in Saint-Denis, a northern suburb of Paris, employed 14 artisans.
The French Confederation of Arts and Crafts paid tribute to Pleyel’s “rare and detailed know-how that today is at risk of disappearing.”
