The instruments
of the workshop
Record
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.

Walter
1795
Anton Walter — Viennese Classicism · Fifth instrumentFifth work in the Walter series. Each instrument refines the mastery of this exceptional Viennese model a little further — Opus 5 marks a milestone in the series, with a concert film produced around this instrument.
The Walter series today numbers more than ten works, all built entirely in Guebwiller.
