"Without music", someone once said, "life is a journey through a desert". Since our founder -while an apprentice in Vienna- helped built instruments for Ludwig van Beethoven and other famous artists during the years 1813-1819 six generations of the Sauter family have sought to continue this legacy. We hope as you read over the information contained on this homepage that you will see not only the beauty and perfection of a Sauter piano but also be able to hear the joy and music that can be created with it. Piano music is an explosive expression of humanity. It connects everyone, no matter where we are from. After all, helping create that connection is why we build pianos.
