Who we are

Barbad’s story is interconnected with its founder’s. Years ago, Mohammad Molazem was teaching music and especially music theory; for which he was trained under the guidance his teacher, Mr. Roshan Rovan, first in the city of Shiraz at “Abnus Music School”, and later in the capital, Tehran. In order to attend his classes, he had to travel continuously from Shiraz to Tehran and endure the hardships of the road. These trips later led to formation of the networks and development of the skills critical to Barbad’s establishment and success.

After finishing his studies, he decided to teach music in Shiraz. His theoretical and practical classes were very well received to such an extent that they were always full. It was during this period that Mohammad Molazem noted the low level of supply and access to piano on one hand, and the low quality of the ones offered in Shiraz on the other hand. This gap was especially noticeable, since during his continuous trips to Tehran and getting to know pianists and their high-quality instruments, he had acquired the necessary know-how to assess the quality of a piano and its nuances.

The first piano that Mohammad Molazem played a prominent role in its purchase process, was the one belonging to one of his friends. The piano was bought in Tehran after he tested the instrument together with another expert. The second instrument was a second hand piano that he bought for himself after collecting the necessary funds with a lot of difficulty. From this point onwards, especially after moving to Tehran, the requests for assessment, testing and buying instruments with his advice increased dramatically; To the degree that he would buy pianos in Tehran and send them to clients in Shiraz without the need for their presence.

In the year 2000, Mohammad Molazem decided to rent a place and start a business in order to bring some order to this chaotic market, and this is how Barbad was born. It is worth mentioning the loyal support of his friends, colleagues and even the very students who had previously attended his lectures. Those who now as music teachers, happily entrusted the procurement of needed instruments to Barbad Piano. The result was a huge success in the shortest possible time.

A while later, the distribution network of Barbed expanded. After Shiraz, where Barbad’s main office was located, the first branch was established in Tabriz. The success of this branch and subsequent branches was rapid. Thanks to the remarkable contribution of Mohammad Molazem, in the shortest possible time, piano was recognized as an indispensable tool for learning music in all the cities where Barbad had a branch, and very talented musicians and music teachers were trained by practicing on pianos bought from Barbad. This resulted in further growth of the sales network and after-sales services in major cities of Iran, which continues to grow to this day.
