普莱耶尔公司(法語:Pleyel et Cie)是法国的一家钢琴制造公司,由作曲家伊格纳兹·普莱耶尔于1807年创立[1] 。
1815年,普莱耶尔的儿子卡米尔(Camille)加入和他一起成为商业伙伴。该公司曾为弗雷德里克·肖邦提供钢琴[2],肖邦认为普莱耶尔钢琴是“完美极致”(non plus ultra)的樂器[3]。普莱耶尔钢琴是德彪西、圣桑、拉威尔、德·法雅和斯特拉文斯基等作曲家以及科尔托、曼努埃尔和威廉姆森等钢琴家和教师的选择[4]。
在20世纪80年代,普莱耶尔公司收购了同样在法国制造钢琴的埃拉德(Erard)和加沃(Gaveau)钢琴公司。 2008年,工厂引进了由著名设计师设计的新式钢琴。在钢琴完全组装好后,乐器会接受30-40小时的微调[5]。2013年底,公司宣布将停止在法国制造钢琴[6]。
2009年9月,钢琴制造家保罗·麦克诺提对1830年款普莱耶尔钢琴进行了重建,现收藏于华沙的弗雷德里克·肖邦学会中[7]。该复制版在2018年9月第一届国际肖邦时期乐器比赛中有使用。
