August Förster Upright Pianos - Tradition and Musical Excellence

The August Förster brand has its roots in the German town of Löbau, where August Förster founded his first piano workshop in 1859. From the beginning, the company focused on producing upright pianos with outstanding sound and precise craftsmanship, which quickly gained recognition in the music industry. Today, after five generations, the company remains in the hands of the Förster family, continuing the tradition of crafting high-quality upright pianos.

August Förster vs. Förster

Contrary to appearances and a similar name, these are two completely separate brands. Upright pianos of the August Förster brand were created in Germany by the aforementioned August Förster. In contrast, upright pianos of the Förster brand are instruments produced since 1900 in the Czech Republic by Cezar Förster, the son of August Förster. The Förster brand disappeared from the market in 1960.
