Does anybody has any list of years for these pianos? We have one made for the Queen of Italy and we would like to know the manufacturing year. Thank you.

Many Lubitz pianos mention the fact that he supplied the Queen of Italy, that doesn't mean the piano itself was hers. Do you have any eveidence? Very little is known or published about Lubitz, see

It is written: H. Lubitz, Berlin Hoflieferant J. Maj. der Konigin M.M. von Italien. Inside it is only a number greater then 16000. Does anybody know if these pianos were made in Berlin? Maybe there is a possibility to find some descendents of the family?

All I can tell you is they were established in Berlin in 1879, and may have received an exhibition medal in that same year. By 1928, H. Lubitz still made pianos in Berlin. No original archiove material is available, see
