【沃特海姆是哪个国家的品牌?】
1875年沃特海姆钢琴,品牌(Wertheim Piano)由德国人雨果沃特海姆(Hugo Wertheim )创立,并在他从德国移民时带入澳洲。
1908年沃特海姆在澳大利亚建立钢琴厂,进而把其品牌发展成为澳洲家喻户晓的钢琴品牌。墨尔本沃特海姆钢琴厂是澳大利亚有史以来较大的钢琴厂。如今琴厂原址仍然保留着以沃特海姆钢琴品牌命名的街道。
2002年现任总裁约翰马丁(John Martin)先生收购沃特海姆钢琴品牌,专注于将其推向全世界,并于2003年开始将部分生产转移至亚洲,但依旧遵从严格的西方国家质量监控标准德系钢琴的音色手感也被原汁原味的保留了下来。
2012年,沃特海姆钢琴参展2012年中国(上海)国际乐器展览会,并由此开始将沃特海姆钢琴带入中国市场。至此在中国的厦门鼓浪屿钢琴博物馆中展示的两台墨尔本原产沃特海姆古钢琴(注:这两台古琴的翻译系采用英文译名“威尔坦 ) ,终于在100年后与其家族新钢琴在中国大陆相见了。
2016年世界钢琴设计师及音色大师达尔文范德里奇(Delwin Fandrich )带领沃特海姆研发设计团队,着手沃特海姆-范德里奇系列钢琴的设计。
