Ibach characterize their sound as being firm and transparent in the bass section, rich and warm in the tenor, and with a pearl-like singing tone in the treble, which is maintained at all volumes.
Producing a variety of upright and grand pianos, all Ibach instruments are made predominantly by hand. As well as producing a standard series of pianos, Ibach maintain their tradition of designing extraordinary cases.
In the 1980s, Ibach built pianos incorporating the Janko keyboard-a patented keyboard layout that enabled the player to cover a wider span of notes with each hand.
