Since a piano makes a statement simply by its size, it must also be pleasing to the eye and be in harmony with its surroundings. This is the reason why Sauter makes pianos which look wonderful and fit exceptionally well into different environments.
This is ensured by balanced designs and a wide variety of finishes, as well as choice materials, perfect hand-craftsmanship and superior quality of finish. Fine native woods are given a satin or mirror finish polish or given a matt beeswax finish by hand. Design details emphasize modern features.
If you wish we can make “Your own personal piano” based on Sauter's standard model. You can choose from Sauter's whole range of fine woods and treated finishes; you can also make statements with initials in precious metal or fine wood inlay. And your dream of a “personal piano” will not cost the earth. Beethoven Pianos will be happy to advise you.

The exclusive range of models “Sauter – designed by Peter Maly”, especially created for modern living spaces, marked a milestone in piano design. Peter Maly is an 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 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 these design pianos
AMBIENTE. Polished black. 7' 6"
A concert grand of new design without any twirls whatsoever, but with a 230cm long case flowing in a single sweep into a bend, shaped like a parabola.
The sides of the keyboard softly cross over into the bevelled grand´s front. Its closed lid fits perfectly into this form.
The difference between the outside appearance and the inside metal frame creates a space in the form of an ellipse in which the lid´s supports have been fitted and which are adjustable in height and angle. (Right photo)
Polished stainless steel accords a brand new profile to the pedal bar: light and lucent throughout “This new grand should be all-over elegant and softly rounded, of flowing design and without any twirls whatsoever” – Peter Maly
The feet have been integrated into a floating architrave which has significantly marked its new silhouette. This new line of architrave stands out with its chromed profile recurring at the foot´s lower end. All fittings and castors are chromed.
When opened, the keyboard´s lid lies flush with the bevelled niche providing a convincing solution to its form. Many of such innovations in construction and design have created the new concert grand´s appearance: “Ambiente”.
Vivace is a contemporary interpretation of the grand piano, without compromising on any respect for the classical form. The streamlined and newly accentuated curves and the profiled steel pedestal give this most traditional of instruments a floating easiness. The special value of this grand piano is emphasised by the fact that it is signed by the designer and individually numbered.
In its new shape, the cut radii replace the traditional curves. An inlaid sequence of high-grade steel squares accentuate the new line of the piano further. Steel also plays a new role in the substructure of the grand piano. The structure of the profiled steel pedestal enables considerably more compact dimensions. This gives the grand piano a light, fresh, friendly, contemporary effect. Hydraulic damper* for the piano fall board. Music desk** with convenient one-handed controls.
