Bluthner Piano Company

Helga Kasimoff and her husband established the Bluthner piano dealership in Pasadena, California in 1963. Since that time many Blüthner grand pianos have been restored in their workshop such as those owned by Jerome Kern (1922), Prince Esterharzy (1903), and King Johann of Saxony (1860). Helga and her son run the store, which is well known for placing Blüthner pianos in homes, colleges and universities, with music lovers, professional musicians, recording artists as well as those just getting started with music. Spending any time with Helga and you will experience the passion for music that is as infectious as her smile.
