Stuart & Sons is an Australian manufacturer of handcrafted grand pianos. The company is based in Tumut in New South Wales.

History

Wayne Stuart founded the company in 1990 as Stuart & Sons Terra Australia Pvt Limited. The company later evolved and formed a partnership with Albert Music.

The company used to be based in Newcastle but in 2015, it relocated to a town at the base of the Snowy Mountains.

Pianos

Stuart & Sons uses Australian timbers for construction.

The Dutch-Australian pianist and teacher Gerard Willems used a Stuart & Sons piano when recording the complete piano sonata cycle of Ludwig van Beethoven during 1999 and 2000.

Stuart & Sons created a grand piano with 14 more keys than are found on a standard piano, for a total of 102 keys or eight and one half octaves. A model with 20 extra keys was built in 2018.
