Company History: Kohler & Campbell pianos are products of the ingenious minds of two people, Charles Kohler and John Calvin Campbell. In 1896, they joined forces to form the partnership that later on made a big name in the world of musical instruments.

When they first teamed up in New York, Campbell was a machinist who had made several genius machines using wood and iron while Kohler was a piano maker and was also considered a genius in factory management and business. Together they created a new line of music, by creating one of the best piano lines on the market.

Present Day Kohler Manufacturing

Kohler and Campbell manufactures both grand and vertical pianos. Each piano is classified in to two categories - the Millennium series and the New York series. Both the Millennium and New York Series of grand pianos have six models. There are eight vertical Millennium vertical pianos and four New York vertical pianos.

These models are manufactured with the finest materials and expert craftsmanship from around the world, including Germany, South Korea, Canada and Indonesia. Serial numbers can be seen either on the inside cover of the instrument or above the iron plate on the left or right side.

Piano Features

The pianos are made through the combined power of technology and expert manual craftsmanship with over 40 years of experience. The tapered and shaped soundboard is made from the finest quality of spruce, created by Andre Bolduc (known worldwide for his expert and unique skill in this trade).

All Kohler and Campbell pianos, like any other high quality and expensive pianos, are created using the world famous Renner action and hammers that come from Germany. A variety of exotic and durable wood is used to create the pianos, including Mahogany, Bubinga, Ebony, Meranti and Agathis.
