What company makes the highest quality pianos? (price does not matter, it could be $100,000,000)?
I do not want price to alter your decision.

The best piano I’ve ever played was a Fazioli. I’ve only played that one, but they have a great reputation.
Bosendorfers and Steinways are top notch as well. My opinion on Steinways is that the quality is somewhat mixed. Sometimes you come across a really great one.. others are just so-so. Yamahas and Kawaiis are also known to make some really outstanding sounds.
I don’t know if you could say just one company makes the best kind of piano.
I forgot to mention that Mason and Hamlins have been getting better and better — I think they would be my studio piano of choice!
Stan pretty much covered it….
Fazioli
Steinway
Bosendorfer
I believe the best piano made today is August Forster made in Lobau, Germanay. They make around 200 grand pianos a year. Still a family owned business.
I prefer a warm sound. I have played on concert grands made by most of the so called big names and have found them all lacking in some aspect. I have never cared for most of the big names and have never considered anything associated with Asia.
My personal piano is a Steinway Model D.
It depends on where the piano will be, in a concert hall, a 9+ foot concert grand, by any of the top makes, Steinway, Bosendorfer, Yamaha if you like a modern sound.
If its for a small house, then a Kawaii Upright. People seem to think that steinway grands are the best, they may be for a concert grand, but not for in your home. The acoustics of the room with change the sound, alot.
Ie, an upright near a wall sounds ALOT better than one in the centre of the room.
