Pleyel et Cie
In the 1980s, the Pleyel company bought out two other piano companies Erard and Gaveau. In 2008 they introduced new pianos designed by famous designers. At the end of 2013, the company announced it would end manufacturing pianos in France. In September 2009 a piano maker Paul McNulty built a replica of the 1830 model of Pleyel's piano, which is now in a collection of the Fryderyk Chopin Institute in Warsaw. The replica was used in The 1st International Chopin Competition on Period Instruments in September 2018.
