Gebr. Perzina Pianos were founded in 1871, when brothers Julius and Albert Perzina opened their shop in Schwerin, North Germany. The brothers were sons of a Saxon piano builder and wanted to carry on their fathers work. The Perzina brothers followed in the rich tradition of centuries, training in all the skills needed to build the perfect instrument.During those apprentice years they worked for many piano factories, including the famous "Carl Bechstein". The ideal of every apprentice is to become the master, and in 1871 their dreams were realised. In the first year of operation 20 pianos were produced. Around 1900 the company expanded rapidly and by 1910 production had increased to 1000 per year (Grand piano production started in 1905). Perzina by this time had established a distribution network spanning the world and with the Royal patronage of Queen Wilhelmina in 1906, went from strength to strength. Some years later the factory was relocated some 60 kilometres south of Schwerin in the little town of Lenzen on the Elbe River. During the 1990s production was transferred to the far east. The company was reorganised, but retained the values and tradition of the Perzina brothers. The production process has been thoroughly modernised emphasising the outstanding musical character of the instrument. Innovation through tradition.

The Carl Ebel and Gerh. Steinberg pianos, manufactured in the same factory, are based on the same scale design, but the Perzina scale design is different. Further technical differences revolve primarily around the choice of action, hammers, and soundboard design, among other things. In particular, the Perzina brand is distinguished by use of a tapered soundboard of solid Austrian white spruce in both verticals and grands, whereas the Carl Ebel and Gerh. Steinberg soundboards are of veneer-laminated Austrian white spruce. The Perzina pianos also receive greater attention to detail than the other two brands. In addition, the Perzina verticals have several interesting features rarely found in other pianos, including a "floating" soundboard that is unattached to the back at certain points for freer vibration, and a reverse, or concave, soundboard crown.
