FEURICH HISTORY
FEURICH
FEURICH － 160年德國鋼琴製造藝術
FEURICH has provided first-class pianos to the world for over 165 years.
1851
1851年始創人約里斯·古斯塔夫·弗爾里希於1851年用一個金馬克的資本在德國萊比錫創辦了 FEURICH 鋼琴廠。
實際上，FEURICH家族早在18世紀就已經開始從事鋼琴制造業,他的祖父和父親都是經驗豐富的鋼琴和管風琴制造師。 直到這一年FEURICH鋼琴制造廠的創辦,更加印證了FEURICH家族在鋼琴制造所擁有的深厚技藝和傳統積澱。
約里斯·古斯塔夫·弗爾里希是德國歷史上第一位制造出配有下制音擊弦器的立式鋼琴的制造商,
這一技術在當時已經遠遠超越了所有其他同行。
In 1851 in Leipzig Julius Gustav Feurich founded the piano manufacturing company FEURICH at the cost of 1 gold mark. His father and grandfather before him had learned to build specialist pianos and harpsichords. The piano building tradition in the family thus dates back to the 18th century. Julius Gustav Feurich was the first piano manufacturer in Germany to build an upright piano with an under-damper action, years ahead of his rivals.
1911
1911年FEURICH的第二個工廠遷入德國萊比錫勞義池。
工廠擁有360名工人,每年生產1000台立式琴和600台三角琴,並暢銷世界。
此時的 FEURICH 鋼琴不僅在歐洲倍受歡迎,更遠銷於澳大利亞、智利和巴西。
作為當時的五公約之一(所謂“五公約”是指時德國最好的五家鋼琴制造廠,
聯合起來達成的協議,在全球範圍內,只提供給經過挑選的鋼琴家自己廠家的演奏用三角鋼琴。)
FEURICH為當時全球各大劇院提供超過60台大型演奏會三角鋼琴。
不幸的是，和當時其他同水平的鋼琴廠商一樣，FEURICH黃金的時代因為世界大戰的破壞而被迫結束。
The second plant in Leipzig-Leutzsch was founded in 1911. It was here that 360 people made 1,000 upright pianos a year and 600 grand pianos, to be sold throughout the world. By that time, besides Europe, Feurich had established a particularly strong market in Australia, Chile and Brazil. FEURICH at that time was a member of the so-called Group of Five. The five leading manufacturers in Germany joined forces to provide selected pianists with concert grand pianos worldwide. FEURICH had 60 company-owned large concert grand pianos on stages throughout the world at that time. Only after the Second World War did this influential era end, as hardly any German manufacturers could produce a concert grand piano during those hard times.
1959
1959年，民主德國強行征用了工廠和財產之後，FEURICH家族無路可走，只得流亡西德。
1959年，FEURICH鋼琴終於在位於西德的米特弗萊肯找到了新家和未來。
新的繁榮昌盛的時代又重新開始了。
FEURICH 和 Euterpe 公司及W.Hoffmann合作,生產規模穩步擴大。在歐洲覆蘇興旺的70年代末,工廠工人達到了276名,年產量也增至約2000台立式琴和300台三角琴。
1991
1991年，弗爾里希建造了自己的新廠房,
運用最先進的知識和最嚴謹的態度，將先輩留下來的寶貴遺產发揚光大。
FEURICH品牌鋼琴遠銷世界各地；高水平的員工素質確保著FEURICH產品的恒定質量。
承襲了FEURICH獨特音色的立式琴和三角琴更加大放異彩地重現於世人面前。
FEURICH工廠德國手工制作的品牌鋼琴被一致公認為A類產品，世界十大頂級鋼琴之一。
In 1991, FEURICH established his own company, building pianos and continuing the legacy of his ancestors to the best of his knowledge and belief.
Today, as before, FEURICH instruments are sold all over the world. The highly qualified staff guarantees the consistent quality of FEURICH products. The typical distinct FEURICH sound character remains the same today as it was in the past. FEURICH piano and grand piano production, is considered as one of the world’s top ten category A piano manufacturers.
2003-2010
2003年FEURICH與中國海倫鋼琴達成夥伴關系，開始合作在寧波生產鋼琴。
海倫鋼琴廠作為中國最現代化的鋼琴制造廠商之一，使用高科技的數控機床生產鋼琴零配件，是很多世界級著名鋼琴品牌的供貨廠家。質量上乘的原料,系統有序的生產和嚴格細致的質檢使得所有鋼琴堅固耐用，並且在任何氣候條件下都能保持其穩定性。
2003年8月全球發行立式琴型號122-廣博型。
2007年在巴黎獲得Diapason d’or 大獎(金音叉獎)。
生產過程極其注重細節，精選原材料，產品均使用高端昂貴品牌鋼琴所使用的同等原材料,，也多次獲得世界大獎表彰。在極短時間內,就暢銷全歐洲及歐洲以外的許多國家和地區，在全球有超過500個合作琴行夥伴。
In 2003 the company in Vienna began the production of pianos with production partners HAILUN PIANO CO. LTD. in Ningbo, China. The Hailun factory is regarded as the finest and most sophisticated piano production facility in China. Thanks to their top-of-the-range equipment, they are able to produce the entire range of products needed in piano building, and are in high demand as a supplier to many of the world’s best known piano brands. The Model 122 – Universal was the first piano to be produced entirely at the HAILUN production facility in Ningbo. From August 2003 onwards, the model is sold worldwide and in 2007 is honoured with the prestigious Diapason d’or prize in Paris.
It is of particular note that many of the excellent grand pianos developed over recent years have already received several prizes for their outstanding quality, and thanks to the careful preparation and the many innovations behind each piano, they easily out-perform many pianos at a much higher price point.
2010－2012
2010年4月德國FEURICH公司總部遷往奧地利維也納。
公司重組技術領導層，以FEURICH鋼琴品質與品牌為標準，對各個型號鋼琴進行進一步技術改良，這一舉措再次使其優越的性價比得到大幅提升。
鋼琴、立式琴，還是三角琴均起源於歐洲，來自音樂之鄉維也納的鋼琴公司有著強烈的熱忱去維護歐洲固有的鋼琴制造傳統。只有傳承與創新並舉地健康发展，才能讓歐洲鋼琴制造這一古老行業愈久彌新。正是基於這個理由，德國FEURICH立式琴和三角琴制造與奧地利維也納悠久的文化傳統結合在一起，將各自極致鮮明的優點集於一身，在世界鋼琴制造舞台上大展身手，應對最高挑戰。
The worldwide rights to the FEURICH brand are taken over by the company in Vienna. Of great importance to the new FEURICH team, is to implement and develop further the ideas seen in traditional European piano building methods. Planning for the new Vienna Production Centre begins.
In April 2010, the team in Vienna was restructured and the headquarters expanded. Under the name KLAVIERgalerie, it is simultaneously turned into a renowned music centre, where all aspects of the piano can be tested and experimented on. Here all technical developments in the pianos are tested and implemented before being introduced into the FEURICH production processes. Numerous improvements are implemented into existing models, in order to ensure the high quality standards associated with the FEURICH brand, and to further improve upon the exceptional price-quality ratio.
2011年FEURICH公司參加2011年法蘭克福音樂展會(2011年4月6日-9日)，展出所有FEURICH型號鋼琴。
FEURICH整個國際團隊把總部設在維也納,現名“鋼琴長廊”，一直以來不斷發展，早已成為當地知名的音樂中心。
那里同時也是產品研發中心，從音樂中心收集的珍貴經驗和使用反饋，都會在FEURICH品牌鋼琴品質優化和提升中體現。
世界各地的FEURICH鋼琴商標權及FEURICH立式琴三角琴制造有限公司都完全歸屬於維也納公司。公司更啟動了大量的突破性的立式琴和三角琴項目。

FEURICH 根據在寧波生產的經驗，重整並更新了整個鋼琴製作的過程。結果成功研究出更優秀的工藝，結合流水式生產的技術，最終研發出三角琴162動感系列I型和172動感系列II型。
FEURICH revises and updates its production procedures used in our facilities in Ningbo. The result is an improved piano action, enabling a highly touch-responsive pianissimo, a more controlled attack, and a faster repetition. Assembly processes are streamlined, materials optimised, and the new grand models 162 – Dynamic I 一and 179 – Dynamic II are introduced.
