20 years of Doutreligne: from noble unknown to crowd favorite

  • Acoustic piano
  • Digital piano
  • Evolution of the piano
  • Piano inspiration

Twenty years ago, the name Doutreligne sounded like a vague promise. A brand, born from the craftsmanship of Piano’s Maene, rooted in over 85 years of piano-making at the Chris Maene Workshop. Initially, the idea was simple: to create a reliable entry-level range with accessible quality. But simplicity was never the long-term goal. Every year, the pianos were patiently and lovingly refined, both musically and technically.

 

Today? Today, Doutreligne stands alongside giants like Yamaha, Kawai, and the better German piano brands, firmly rooted in the mid-range and even flirting with the premium category.

Craftsmanship and expertise go hand in hand

The success formula of Doutreligne lies at the heart of craftsmanship. The design of each piano begins at the Chris Maene Workshop, where passion and expertise come together. For the perfect sound, Doutreligne uses premium German parts, from soundboards to hammers, from mechanics to keyboards.

But that’s not all. Each instrument is carefully fine-tuned by an expert piano technician from Piano’s Maene, ensuring it only leaves the store when it is 100% in top condition. The result? A piano that doesn’t just sound good, but offers an experience.

From living rooms to concert stages

Doutreligne has become more than just a brand — it is a trusted companion for thousands of pianists. In classrooms, on concert stages, in the waiting area of Brussels Airport and even on platforms at Belgian stations: everywhere, the warm, rich sound of a Doutreligne can be heard.

The brand even plays a leading role on the small screen in programs such as 'The Voice van Vlaanderen' and 'Liefde voor Muziek'. Famous Belgian artists like Berre and The Starlings have lost their hearts (and ears) to a Doutreligne piano. Even Camille consistently chooses our Doutreligne Seven for her concerts at the Sportpaleis. No big marketing machines, just: quality that sells itself.
