History and Characteristics of Howard Grand Pianos
The Howard brand is synonymous with durability and solidity in the world of pianos and grand pianos, offering instruments of various sizes and styles. Founded in Cincinnati, Ohio under the auspices of Baldwin, the Howard brand began its production in 1895. Over the years, Howard pianos and grand pianos were mainly manufactured in the United States until the 1960s. In subsequent decades, production was moved to Japan (the Kawai factory), and later to Korea (the Samick manufacturer), which influenced the global reach of the brand. Currently, all production takes place in China, under the supervision of Baldwin, while maintaining traditional methods and quality standards.
