Kemble and Co has been making fine pianos in the United Kingdom since 1911 and for 3 generations. Our well loved, rich and distinctive sound makes it true that “One note and you’ll know it’s a Kemble.” Kemble’s was founded by Michael Kemble in North London, the centre of piano manufacturing at that time . In the 1960s his son, Robert, expanded sales and production dramatically, and moved to modern new premises. In the 21st century, Brian Kemble MBE, grandson of the founder, continues the tradition. We are now the exclusive British manufacturer and are the largest maker in Western Europe, with the most modern production facilities. We aim to combine the best of modern technology with traditional British craftsmanship and design in order to produce pianos of outstanding quality and value. Our dedication to quality and service helped us win the coveted Queen’s Award for Export Achievement.
"As you play one of our pianos we hope that you will not only fall in love with its warmth and richness of sound, its power and its superb responsiveness of touch, but also be impressed by its value. Pianos are our passion and we hope that we can share this with you. No matter what your style of playing and what music you love to play, let us “bring out the pianist in you."
