August Hoffman Pianofabrik AB was established in Stockholm Sweden, in 1838. During the 150 years of continuous operation, August Hoffman piano became a true hallmark of Northern Europe's art of piano making.

With the closure of the Swedish operation, in 1988, the August Hoffman tradition of excellence continues.

Using the original, authentic machinery, intricate scale design, aided by the latest technologies and built by highly acclaimed Asian-based Dong-Bei Parsons Piano Group, August Hoffman Pianos of today blend the tradition with innovation and the latest in piano manufacturing techniques.

Close association with one of the World's most respected piano companies and the World's oldest piano maker, Rud. Ibach Sohn of Schwelm, Germany, further influenced and added to the quality of this quality piano line that provided reliable, consistent performance in the North American, European, Asian and Australian piano markets.

It is of very special importance to the Canadian market, that the August Hoffman piano originates from a Stockholm area of Sweden with long, cold and very dry winters followed by a sudden change - humid and short and hot summers - very much alike climate conditions found in many regions of Canada. Swedish master craftsmen over time have developed and incorporated a number of preventative and protective features contributing to the August Hoffman pianos' impressive longevity, tonal, tuning and structural stability even in a range of challenging climate conditions. Today, August Hoffman pianos successfully blend a traditional, well-built approach, fantastic materials and fantastic craftsmanship. 

Parsons Group ensures the highest quality control standards, all resulting in a fantastic alternative to mainstream, well-advertised "big brands", offering rich, clear tone, pleasant, responsive all-hardwood action and an overall impressive musical experience.
