The History of Moutrie Pianos
The
Moutrie brand originated in England in 1856 as an affiliate of the
Collard piano company. In 1890, its founder and namesake, William
Moutrie, relocated the piano factory to China in order to meet the
demands of the growing number of British expatriates in the far east.
Moutrie pianos were purposely built to withstand the heavy tolls of a
hot and humid climate and, as such, were constructed out of solid
durable materials.
150 years on,
Moutrie pianos are still built to last. From a technical standpoint,
they are easy to tune, regulate and voice and arrive from the factory
in very good condition. Of all the Chinese pianos I have serviced, the
Moutrie piano is the only make that I would recommend to someone who
actually wanted to play, rather than look at, a piano. It is a suitable
instrument for any standard of pianist, from the beginner through to
the concert professional.
What impresses me most about the Moutrie company is that they are truly
proud of their name and products. They have a great website, in
addition:
