Thornton Pianos is an Irish family-run business that has been supplying new and reconditioned pianos nationwide for over 50 years.
Having worked with pianos extensively for over 50 years, Thornton Pianos have witnessed Ritmüller's exciting transformation over the last few years firsthand – earning it the title of undisputed leader in price versus performance in pianos.
While Thornton Pianos have seen some established brands diminish the quality of materials used in some of their ranges, Ritmüller have continued to improve – using only the finest build components in all piano models.
Although some brands only use excellent pig iron in their more expensive models, Ritmüller pianos come with this as standard in every model. Pearl River, who make Ritmüller pianos, only use the finest woods for the manufacturing and processing of each instrument – with walnut rims for their grand pianos and maple wood for the treble and bass soundboard bridges and pin blocks. During the transformation, world famous designers developed bevelled soundboards made from narrow grained, 100% Nordic spruce.
