Since 1849, the goal has been to achieve perfection. Every genuine Seiler piano embodies the know-how and experience of four generations of the highly developed art of piano making. Seiler grand and upright pianos are far more than just top-quality instruments, and they are all unique and masterly works of art. As a result, Seiler has earned its worldwide reputation as being the industry benchmark through its impeccable craftsmanship, quality, and precision. Eduard Seiler, the company’s founder, began making pianos in 1849 in Liegnitz, Silesia, then part of Prussia. By 1923 the company had grown to over 435 employees, was producing up to 3,000 pianos per year, and was the largest piano manufacturer in Eastern Europe. In 1945 and after World War II, when Liegnitz (now Legnica) became part of Poland, the plant was nationalized by the Polish Communist government, and the Seiler family left their native homeland with millions of other refugees. In 1954, Steffan Seiler reestablished the company in Copenhagen under the fourth generation of family ownership and began making pianos again. In 1962 he moved the company to Kitzingen in Bavaria, Germany, where it resides today. Steffan Seiler died in 1999; the company was managed by his widow, Ursula, until its sale to Samick in 2008. Seiler now produces about 1,000 pianos annually. Samick continues Seiler’s tradition of making high-quality pianos while diversifying the product lineup to suit a broader range of clients.

Is there such a thing as the perfect piano? Ever since 1849, we have been asking ourselves this very same question over the over again. The answer we found has made the name “SEILER” famous all over the world, not only because every “true SEILER” embodies the know-how and the experience of four generations of the highly developed art of piano making.

Thanks to our courage to embrace innovating, we were always able to refine what we already accomplished. We did not only preserve that unmistakable, transparent SEILER sound. We also provided pianists and artists from all over the world with new ideas and patents and with state-of-the-art technology. Our piano builders have perfected their indispensable craftsmanship, creating new opportunities for pianists to interpret the works of both old and modern masters individually and in a contemporary fashion. 

This has been our standard and will remain an obligation for us in the future as well. SEILER’s grand and upright pianos are far more than just top quality instruments. 

They are unique and masterful works of art, designated to bring pleasure to those who own them for decades to come, for the love of life and music!
