Our knowledge of both historic and contemporary piano construction is unique in Europe. The Chris Maene workshop not only builds replicas of pianofortes, but also its own Chris Maene Straight Strung Concert Grands, a line of top-range right-handed grand pianos. These concert grand pianos have made headlines worldwide, the many CD recordings by international artists confirm their premium quality and importance in the music world.
In addition, since 2004, Pianos Maene has its own second line of instruments, "Doutreligne" (named after Zulma Doutreloigne, mother of Chris Maene). These self-developed quality pianos and grand pianos can now be found in many living rooms, conservatories and concert and event halls.
In 2003 the then Ypma Piano's, largest piano company in the Netherlands, launched the new brand "Petrus Ypma". The brand, which focuses on ideal value for money, has been extremely successful in the Netherlands ever since. When at the end of 2018 Ypma Pianos was acquired and renamed Piano's Maene Netherlands, Piano's Maene decided to further develop and produce the Petrus Ypma pianos as well. The focus always remains to offer the best value for money. We are therefore particularly proud to present this new generation of Petrus Ypma instruments.
So if you want to invest your rather limited budget in a meaningful way, Petrus Ypma pianos and grand pianos are definitely the right choice!
