August Förster Grand Pianos - Tradition and Musical Excellence

The history of the August Förster brand dates back to the German town of Löbau, where August Förster founded his first piano manufacturing workshop in 1859. From the beginning, the company focused on creating pianos with excellent sound and precise craftsmanship, which quickly gained recognition in the musical world. Now, after five generations, the company remains in the hands of the Förster family, continuing the legacy of crafting exceptional high-quality pianos. There is undoubtedly a subtle difference between the August Förster and Förster brands. In the case of August Förster pianos, their origins trace back to Germany, where founder August Förster contributed to the establishment of the brand. On the other hand, Förster pianos are instruments produced since 1900 in the Czech Republic by Cezar Förster, the son of August Förster. It's worth noting that the Förster brand disappeared from the market in 1960.
