We have become a Pleyel dealer!

Pleyel pianos and grand pianos are now available at Joh.deHeer!

We are a Pleyel dealer! These beautiful and reliable pianos and grand pianos are now available and you can of course drop by to try out the instruments. Pleyel is a French company which is over 200 years old and was founded by Ignaz Pleyel, a pupil of Joseph Haydn and a good friend of Frédéric Chopin. Pleyel wanted to produce his own pianos because he felt there was no piano available that captured all the nuances well. The pianos and grand pianos he produced were therefore hugely popular because of these subtle nuances. It was therefore the favourite choice of the world-famous Chopin and his audiences.

 

Today, Pleyel pianos are still of high quality and hugely popular in the field of classical music. At Joh.deHeer, for example, you can choose between the P120BLK, the P131BLK and the P124MAC pianos and the P170BLK and the P190BLK grand pianos.

 

Come and try out these great instruments at Joh.deHeer where you will also be helped enthusiastically by our experts!

The story of Pleyel

The story of Pleyel began in 1807 and over two centuries later, the name is inextricably linked to countless celebrities who have forged Pleyel into tradition. The legendary name comes from Ignaz Pleyel, born on 18 June 1757 in Ruppersthal, Austria, and noticed at a young age for his musical skills. Later, when he became a French citizen, his name would change to Ignance.

At the age of 50, Ignance Pleyel started his own workshop but, unfortunately, sales of the instruments faltered. Musically, Ignance fared better than business-wise until in 1824 his son Camille joined his father in the adventure of Pleyel pianos. With thorough reorganisation and innovative work, he made the company grow rapidly.

Chopin, the ambassador of prestige. The legendary composer inextricably linked himself with the Pleyel brand in 1832. The touch of the Pleyel pianos was in perfect harmony with Chopin's playing, sometimes light and refined and sometimes with measured violence. Chopin's effort was the march to worldwide success, and by 1855 the brand was producing 1,400 pianos a year.

After the death of Camille Pleyel in 1855, Pleyel came into the possession of Auguste Wolff. He further developed the company with a large new factory and unprecedented technicality that today still form the basis of the piano how we know it today, such as the cast-iron frame, among others. In 1889, Pleyel sold its 100,000th piano, an exceptional title of honour and the first piano manufacturer to achieve it. Success propelled on until 1929, when Pleyel fell into severe crisis, leading to a bankruptcy petition in 1933. Despite this filing, production continued on a very small scale until 2013. In just a few very unique instruments for a wealthy clientele.

 

Pleyel today


The rebirth took place in 2017 when French gentlemen Gérard Garnier and his son Benjamin resurrected the phoenix from its ashes. The brand has always remained iconic and with a new Pleyel workshop in Nantes, the first prototypes came out in 2021, which were applauded by piano enthusiasts. The construction of the pianos combines today's technologies with the traditional know-how of piano makers.

The materials used are of outstanding quality and Pleyel uses only the best available. For the soundboards, for instance, the best spruce wood is used, sourced from the Val de Fiemme in Italy and known for its exceptional vibrating properties. The strings are all sourced from Germany, with the bass strings coming from Hellerbass and the medium strings from Röslau.

Pleyel Magistral System

Turn your own acoustic piano into a high-end loudspeaker

Transforming your acoustic piano into a high-end loudspeaker? It’s possible with the new and impressive Pleyel Magistral System. With this system, you can easily play audio via Bluetooth, USB or the aux input – and of course, you can also play along on the piano itself. It works simply, because the adjustable clamping system allows you to attach the transducers to the back of your piano without drilling or gluing. These clamps are designed to fit the vast majority of upright pianos, whether new or old, and from any brand. The Magistral system then perfectly reproduces the piano’s soundboard, including the natural harmonic richness of instruments and voices. Various settings can also be adjusted easily on the control unit.

 

Play with accompaniment on your acoustic piano with Pleyel Magistral

When purchasing a Pleyel Magistral System, Pleyel offers you three months of free access to the complete catalogue of the Metronauts app. Browse through 10,000 scores recorded in the studio by professional musicians. With this evolving application, you can make progress at your own pace. Adjust the tempo, annotate your sheet music, record yourself… many options that make learning or improving easier. You can choose to play solo, duet, four-hands or accompanied by an orchestra. The Magistral System offers complete immersion in exceptional sound quality.

 

How the system is built

The Magistral System consists of three transducers: one for the bass, one for the left side and one for the right side, with a total output of 80 watts. All three are equipped with a mounting bracket for easy installation on the back of the piano. A cable runs to the control unit, which can be placed on the piano. The control unit is finished in black high-gloss piano lacquer so that it looks pristine on the instrument.

This unit allows you to switch the system on and off and control the output volume using the on/off-volume knob. Three adjustment potentiometers let you easily adapt various high, mid and low frequencies to suit your listening preferences. Finally, the multifunction potentiometer allows you to switch between modes (BT/AUX/USB), start playback, pause and skip to the next or previous track.
