Each instrument that leaves the workshop carries a history: a commissioner, a musical intention, a wholly crafted piece of work. These completed works are the concrete trace of an uncompromising standard.
Instrument · 01 — The Walter series
Walter
1795
Anton Walter — Viennese Classicism · First instrumentThe very first Walter fortepiano built at the workshop. A challenge set by a concert pianist started everything — and led to an album recording, proof from the very first work that the instrument was equal to the professional stage.
Capsules, hammers, action, keyboard — built entirely in Guebwiller.
Les curiosités esthétiques
