Michael Kemble founded the Kemble Pianos was founded in 1911 in Stoke Newington, North London which at that time was known as the center of the UK’s piano manufacturing activity.

In the 1950s, Robert Kemble, a second-generation Kemble, took over the business and moved the company to a state-of-the-art factory in Bletchley, near today’s new city of Milton Keynes. The company experienced rapid sales growth and needed to expand.

The Kemble family made a partnership with The Yamaha Corporation of Japan in 1968 and, over the next few years, both parties of the partnership founded and developed Yamaha-Kemble Music (UK) Ltd.

Kemble and Co. started making a range of acoustic pianos for Yamaha in 1985; these pianos were to be sold in the UK market. Two years later, Kemble was chosen by Yamaha to become its European manufacturing partner. Brian Kemble, grandson of the founder, was appointed Managing Director in 1986.

In 1992, Kemble and Co. received The Queen’s Award for Export Achievement, making them the only British company in the piano industry ever to receive this accolade. Kemble collaborated with Austrian piano manufacture Bösendorfer in 2009 and released the Special Edition Chopin model (200 years after Chopin’s birth); during that same year Kemble also moved the manufacturing of their piano to Yamaha’s factories in the Far East.

During the year 2011 Kemble celebrates their 100th year of making one of the finest quality english pianos.
