Falcone Pianos was founded in 1982 by Santi Falcone, a piano technician originally from Sicily. He established the company in Woburn, Massachusetts, to produce high-quality pianos at affordable prices. Falcone Pianos became particularly renowned for their exceptional craftsmanship and innovative features. Key specifications included rims made of hard rock maple, soundboards crafted from white spruce, and various high-quality action components.
Despite its early success and high standards of quality, the company faced financial difficulties and was sold to Bernard Greer in 1989. The Falcone brand subsequently became associated with the Mason & Hamlin organization. Later, Falcone pianos were manufactured in China by the Nanjing Moutrie Piano Company.
Falcone pianos are admired for their robust construction, excellent tonal quality, and historical significance. Although production of Falcone pianos eventually ceased, the instruments continue to attract interest from collectors and musicians because of their distinctive characteristics, craftsmanship, and reputation.
