Spreeman Piano Innovations, LLC is the parent corporation of Ravenscroft Pianos.
We are dedicated to the production of the very finest custom, handcrafted pianos available.
The highest quality materials from around the world are imported, hand selected, and expertly assembled in a state of the art facility.
The result is an unusually unique instrument which delivers richness and purity of tone, broad dynamic range, power, and lyric duration.
Meticulously assembled and regulated actions are responsive and controllable, allowing precise dynamic control and spontaneous repetition.
The cabinets are exquisitely hand crafted by "old world craftsmen" to our specifications in Spaichingen, Germany.
We hand craft limited edition pianos as well as custom build to achieve the specific type of sound and cabinet style you desire.
The concept of handcrafting a custom concert piano began while I was Head Technician at Arizona State University in 1992.
I began working then with renowned jazz pianist/composer Bob Ravenscroft.
Mr. Ravenscroft found himself creatively limited by the restrictions of his 9' concert piano and commissioned me to locate, re-design, and rebuild a piano that would invite him to explore new, unrestricted realms of playing.
The goal was enormous: To produce an inimitable, unsurpassed, outstanding performance piano designed to reduce as many barriers between creative performance and mechanical function as possible.
The result was attained through locating a disheveled, retired, 1926 concert grand and re-designing it.
After many years of working as a high-end rebuilder and concert technician, I now have the opportunity to pursue the dream of offering limited edition, handcrafted performance pianos to the public.
I have elected to name my new pianos after Mr. Bob Ravenscroft in honor of that original commission in 1992.
I personally invite you to come in and experience the delight of playing a Ravenscroft piano today.
With Warm Regards,
