Estonia钢琴成立于1893年,位于北欧波罗的海东海岸。
在伊斯坦尼亚的钢琴制造历史是在18世纪后期,据记载更可以追溯到1779。在19世纪末和20世纪初,达到20个钢琴品牌。这些厂家中最出众的是Ernst Hiis-Ihse,其手工制作的钢琴,从1893年便成为未来Estonia钢琴的产品。而二战之后,Hiis先生被邀请建立一个更大的工厂,今天被称为Estonia钢琴厂。
1950年,被政府要求合并其余厂家。在随后的40年里,公司仅有(190和273)两个型号的乌木或白色饰面产品。
Estonia钢琴在欧洲国际的钢琴设计比赛中获得优秀奖。他们的音乐会钢琴更是非常突出,已生产出超过7,400台音乐会三角琴。并且许多伟大的钢琴家,如里Sviatoslav Richter,Dmitry Shostakovitch,Emil Gilels 和Claudio Arrau等都曾在音乐会中使用过。然而,Hiis先生在1964年去世后,钢琴的质量逐渐下降,而部分原因是由于在共产主义政权下难以引进高品质的零件和材料。
1991年独立后,工厂的员工便从政府手中收购回工厂。收购过程大部分是前国有企业的经理,以使工厂得以持续生产。20世纪90年代中期,一位在纽约茱莉亚音乐学院的伊斯坦尼亚钢琴博士生Indrek Laul,逐步购买该公司股票,并成为重要的股东之一。并由她对公司产品展开全面的研发。通过与欧洲最先进的钢琴演奏家和爱沙尼亚研究院合作,工厂进行大改造:新的5尺型号开始设计,对所有型号的钢琴实施数以百计的改进和提升,旨在建造一个最高端级别的产品。在这十年中公司对美国市场非常重视,销售方面由Paul Vesterstein先生和Laul博士负责。
在1993年工厂私有化,次年产量为49台。随后的10年内由Paul Vesterstein进口到美国,公司因此感谢他在美国为Estonia钢琴营销而付出的努力。
2001年,Laul博士成为公司的唯一控股人。他的父母,Venno和Reet Laul,都是专业的音乐家并于2002年加入到公司里,负责工厂产品质量控制和成为股东之一。
到2003年一个新的厂房落成,除了对设备的改革还有多年的人才培养,将在钢琴质量上交出成绩单。
仅在2004年,全球超过200个报纸报道该厂成功的文章。
同年,工厂生产396架钢琴是自1994年以来8倍的增长。

The Estonia factory was founded in 1893 by Ernst Hiis.. The ESTONIA pianos come from the Republic of Estonia, a country in northern Europe located on the eastern coast of the Baltic Sea. The first written evidence of piano making in Estonia dates back to 1779; from 1850-1940 there were nearly 20 independent piano manufacturers, including Rathke, Astron, Moritz, Sprenk and Hiis.The Estonia factory was founded in 1893 by Ernst Hiis, the Grand Old Man of country's piano making.
In 1950 he was asked by the government to combine other smaller factories. For the next 40 years the company was state-owned and made two grand models (190 and 273) in ebony or white finishes. In 1993 the factory was privatized to its managers; the following year 49 pianos were made. Imported into the US by Mr. Paul Vesterstein for ten years, factory is grateful to him for his marketing efforts of the Estonia pianos in the USA. In 1995, Indrek Laul, at that time a doctoral piano student at the Juilliard School in New York, set a new goal for the factory: to bring these grand pianos into a world-class, highest quality musical and professional level. The factory underwent grand makeover: new 5-foot model was started, wood finishes and exotic wood tones were introduced, many hundreds of improvements and advancements on all piano models were implemented.
By 2001, Dr. Laul became the sole owner of the piano factory. His parents, Venno and Reet Laul, both professional musicians, joined the factory in 2002 to head the quality control and to be members of the stockholders committee.By 2003, a new factory building was completed and opened, the present facility underwent remodeling, plus years of personnel training and new machinery started to show major musical results in the quality of pianos. In 2004 alone, over 200 newspapers worldwide wrote articles about the success of the piano factory. The same year the factory made 396 pianos - a growth of 8 times since 1994.
