  • Description
  • Product Details

The model 170 is a smaller version of the prestigious model 190. It is 100% made in Germany with traditional crafting methods for which August Förster is well known. The company was established in the small Saxon town of Löbau over 165 years ago and indeed these instruments have a timeless quality; one could describe them as an antidote to modern factory-made pianos.


As in the larger model, we have in the model 170 the highest quality components – the action is by Renner and strings by Röslau. Ultimate tuning stability is guaranteed as each string has its own eye. This is a precision instrument for any pianist wishing to get the very best out of their playing. Cherish the moment, cherish the piano.
