Friedrich Ehrbar was a piano manufacturer in Vienna, Austria.
Friedrich Ehrbar (1827-1905) took over the company in 1857 after the passing of Eduard Seuffert (1819-1855). In 1876 he had the Palais Ehrbar with its own concert hall constructed, in which renowned artists such as Johannes Brahms, Anton Bruckner and Gustav Mahler performed. For the excellence of his products he was awarded an imperial and royal warrant of appointment to the Emperor and King of Austria-Hungary. He was also awarded a warrant of appointment to Archduke Otto, imperial warrant of appointment to the Ottoman Sultan, a royal warrant of appointment to the King of Greece, the King of Serbia, the King of Portugal, and many others.
His successor was Friedrich Benedict Ernst Ehrbar Jun. (1873-1921), who was also president of the Wiener Singakademie from 1900 until his death. He was also awarded an imperial and royal warrant of appointment to the Emperor and King of Austria-Hungary. [1]

Johann Baptist Streicher was an Austrian piano maker that comes from a dynasty piano builders. The tradition began with Johann Streicher's grandfather, Johann Andreas Stein, who was a central figure in the history of the piano. No less remarkable of figures in this dynasty, though, were his parents. Nannette Streicher, his mother, assumed charge of her father's business in 1792 and set up a piano making company in Vienna. Initially, she was working together with her husband Andreas Streicher and her 16-year-old younger brother Matthias Andreas Stein (1776-1842) under the business name Geschwister Stein. After 10 years, the siblings decided to part ways, and Nannette Streicher continued building pianos under her own name. She was also one of the closest friends of Beethoven and even agreed in August 1817 to help her friend by managing his chaotic household, while the composer was going through one of the many crises that marked his life.

Paul McNulty is a builder of historical pianos, described by the New Grove as "famous for the high standard of [his] instruments." Within the community of builders, McNulty is noted for his efforts to extend the production of historically informed instruments later into history: while he has built many fortepianos in 18th-century style, he has also progressively sought to span the gap between the fortepiano and the fully modern piano that emerged around the last third of the 19th century. The expanding diversity of McNulty's productions has thus helped "provide an opportunity to extend keyboard performing practice to include the piano repertory of the 19th century".
