116 SERIES

Sauter - For good sound.

The bigger sound board of our series 116 offers more volume in sound. The unique “Sauter Spherical Concavity®” of the sound board produces well-balanced sound characteristics, supported by tonewood of mountain spruce. This wood is strong on one hand, but flexible on the other offering a wide spectrum of tone. Our good working keyboard offers you great delight in playing. Sauter, as a manufacturer of pianos, was first to introduce the modern truss frame made of steel, which precludes any deformation of the clavier. Pianos of this range are characterised by an ideal coordination between musical mechanism and mechanics for an even lighter playing experience, allowing your piano-playing to sound even smoother. The enlarged hammerhead makes the tone more substantial and influences the response of the piano to your playing.
This you will hear!
The sum of all constructive features skilfully realized in Sauter´s manufacture, guarantee longevity.
Our perfect piano technique is available in three visually different models:
• Cosmo – unites functional-classical aesthetics in a piano,

122/130 RANGE

122/130 range- Sauter´s double repetition action for greater pleasure in sound.

Sauter pianos of this product range are equipped with a sound board, which is up to 25% bigger in size in comparison to the basic models. This works in favour of the sound, due to the “Sauter Spherical Concavity®” of the sound board. Tones are consequently amplified paired with a sparkling liveliness in quality.
Pianos of this series are equipped with another extra: the double repetition action of grand pianos developed by Sauter. Solved by something as simple gravity, grand pianos overcome what is a real problem for vertical pianos: the damper lever, which transfers the action from key to hammer, responds far too slowly when being struck repeatedly or in quick succession, leaving the succeeding strike soundless.
The Sauter double-repetition action of grand pianos, a solid and non-wearing construction, permits the responsiveness of grand pianos – without compromise. Only pianos by Sauter have this unique action. Furthermore, pianos of the 122 / 130-series possess a finer mensure leading to a more balanced distribution of tone from Treble to Bass.
The Competence 130 has an even bigger sound board, posing an even bigger challenge to the action in order to hear and experience the big and wide sonority. That is why this piano by Sauter has an even further developed action with an optimised lever rapport. It is easier and more controllable to add touches to the style of playing. Sauter pianos of this product range are for passionate pianists already ‘au fait’ with the art of playing piano.

THE MASTER CLASS RANGE

Sauter pianos providing concert quality.

For sound perfection, Sauter offers a series of master class pianos – our top-of-the-range piano manufacturing. These pianos by Sauter hit ambitious music peaks, with tones of concert quality. Further inner qualities are added to this master class by Sauter; with it comes the sostenuto pedal (sustaining pedal), which is usually only to be found in grand pianos. Hence, these pianos by Sauter offer the sound quality of a grand piano.
Thanks to the patented construction of the sustaining pedal it is possible to adjust its function particularly well without any major effort. Hammerheads with a core of exotic woods enhance the good tone sensation and are ideally fine-tuned with the resonating body. For even better tone purity, we use only the finest spruce from the “Val di Fiemme” in the high region of South Tyrol, grown at an altitude of 1,100 metres, for the sounding board. This wood is free of tension and can be consequently worked very well, delivering, together with the unique “Sauter Spherical Concavity®”, an unheard-of pleasure in listening.
Such legendary tonewood is preferred by Cremonesian violin makers like the ‘Stradivaris’ for centuries. Sharp tones made of ebony, award fabulous playing sensation. Our eye catching cast plates are hand-grounded and completed with a precious finish and our inner body and hammer rests are covered with maple heartwood to achieve the ultimate finish. High demands are made in piano-making and are being met with the Master Class made by Sauter. Built for sophisticated pianists.

Master Class 130 - Professionalism perfectly satisfied.

Sauter DESIGNER RANGE– designed by Peter Maly

The piano created for today´s living concepts.

This conveys Peter Maly*, internationally recognised designer for interiors who dealt with the subject `piano´ exclusively for Sauter. Maly´s understanding of design is marked by original forms combined with the utmost functionality as well as perfection in manufacturing. Many of his designs are already recognised as modern classics.
Sauter pianos designed by Peter Maly largely match the Sauter Master Class pianos, with respect to their technique: the sounding board, 25% bigger, is characterised by the unique “Sauter Spherical Concavity®” and the speciality of Sauter, the double repetition action of grand pianos (for more detailed information please refer to page 16). Here, as well, the sounding board is solely made from the finest spruce from the `Val di Fiemme´ in the high region of South Tyrol, grown at an altitude of 1,100 meters. For a better playing sensation, half tones (sharps and flats) are made of ebony. The cast plate is hand-ground and complemented with a precious finish. Experienced pianists, whose piano is in focus at their home, will be thrilled by the touch and appearance of this design piano.
* More about the works and person of the designer Peter Maly can be found in the new book: Peter Maly, Hamburg, author Bernd Polster, Dumont-Verlag, ISBN 978-3-8321-7771-3, published in 2007, and which can be purchased in book stores (but it's probably all in German).

PURE "less is more"

Sauter Pure designer piano thumb

PURE "less is more"- as little as possible, as much as necessary. The aim was archetypal, reduction to the essential. Nothing superfluous, but full of concentration; stillness and tension at the same time - just like before a big concert: PURE 2000, the purist upright piano. Purism is the art of avoiding the superfluous. The form radiates peace which inspires both soul and player.
Pure 2000 is like the room for which it was designed. It is an upright which fits into a bright living environment with simple walls and modern art. The essence of its aesthetics is the generous design which emphasizes the surfaces.
In the "PURE 2000 noble" version, the surfaces have a gloss lacquer finish. The characteristic corner details are emphasized by flush-fitting chromium-plated metal sections giving this upright its modern elegance.
Details accentuate the essential design. A fine finger groove makes the upright easy to open.
Accessories: Chromium-plated fittings, R2 grand technology, moderator (soft pedal), round height-adjustable feet.
" PURE noble"is available in polished black, polished cayenne red, polished white, polished black / zebrano or polished black / walnut.

Onda, the piano in its elemental form.

Sauter Onda designer upright piano thumb
click for more info

Onda, the piano in its elemental form, is the quintessence of minimalist design.
The body and keyboard form a solid backdrop for the focal point of the piano - an undulating panel. Yet although Onda is essentially of simple construction, it also has something of the grand piano about it.
Onda is the ideal complement to the new minimalist look. A spacious room scattered with a few functional accessories and items of furniture provides the perfect setting for the piano's simple yet stylish lines.
Materials which are typical of this look include light wood, cool metal and fabrics in natural shades.
Onda is constructed from a number of distinct, clearly demarcated components. Broad wooden side panels enclose the piano body, lending it stability and substance. The keyboard - made from light beech or maple wood like the sides - is set into the undulating panel.
The panel which forms the front of the piano has a horizontal "wave" running through it - hence the name Onda, which means wave.
As a special design feature, Onda is fitted with two top panels which can be opened upwards like wings. As well as forming a highly effective sound board, they lend the instrument the feel of a grand piano.
To round off the picture, Onda stands on curved metal feet.
Features: Chrome-plated fittings, R2 Double repetition action, muffler pedal.
Onda is available in Maple / silver and beech satined

Imago, the Avant-Garde piano.

Sauter Imago designer piano thumb

Imago, the Avant-Garde piano, is a fascinating new creation which redefines the concept of the piano.
A great design, extravagant and classic - the sound pattern for a new age.
Imago is at home in the most ultra-modern surroundings: Dominant here are contemporary, functionally designed furniture, but also modern classic such as the seating by Le Corbusier. The materials are a combination of light wood tones - modish pear, maple of beech; bright colour finishes and cool metal.

Sauter's 1/16 tone / microtone piano.

Sauter microtone piano thumb
click for more info

If the term “microtonality” means anything to you it is probably the attempt to divide up the generally accepted system of intervals which is based on whole tone and semitone steps.
However, with microtonality it is much more an attempt to explore the areas between the semitones of the usual system and thus to activate new areas of tonality. In pianos this system has increasingly been the subject of schemes and structural activity for more than 100 years. Quarter tone instruments have already been around for a long time. Particular pioneers of these ideas were Charles Ives and the Czech Alois Hába who in turn extended his ideas to the 1/6 tone.
However, in 1895 the Mexican Julian Carrillo (1875 - 1965) worked on the problem of the 1/16 tone interval for the first time, as yet probably the smallest unit between the usual semitone step. In 1925 he devised an original notation for these ideas. Together with the conductor Leopold Stokowski he founded an “Orquesto Sonido 13”, in other words an ensemble which played microtonally and with which he and Stokowski even went on tour in the ’30’s. Then in 1940 Carrillo took out a patent on a project for 15 differently pitched pianos. He found the piano making company Piano Maker Carl Sauter in Spaichingen which was able to build him the relevant prototype pianos for his project. He presented his instruments built by Sauter in 1958 during the Brussels World Fair. These were pitched, according to the model, from whole tone down to the sixteenth tone. Success was not long in coming for Carrillo and the piano maker Sauter: the instruments went on to win a gold medal in Brussels. Today two of the instruments are in the Paris Conservatoire: one in the sixteenth tone and one in the third tone. Others are in the Conservatoires in Nice and Mexico City.
The sixteenth tone piano is pitched from key to key in 1/16 tone intervals so that a normal fifth on this instrument sounds like a semitone, missing out a 1/16 tone. From the bottom to the top tone there is a span of exactly an octave on this piano. The sound is remarkable as it does not have the traditional sound sensation of a piano but, due to the continually developing vibrations of the individual tones, completely new sound waves are produced. These tonalties result in new challenges for a pianist and also for the composer writing for this type of instrument. The piano stands 116 centimetres tall with 97 keys and 291 steel strings which are stretched trichordally (three strings per tone)
