Schiller Pianos (USA) presently employes German engineering and high-quality materials and manufacturing techniques through partnerships in Europe and Asia. These two instruments became the first prototype designs for his company, Schiller Piano. Within months he had built another for the one of the theaters he previously played at. It was at their first year of their anniversary when Gustav presented his bride with his first table piano.
He had also become love stricken with his childhood romantic interest and decided to return home to marry her. Within three years Gustav had proved himself a Master Caftsman at Breikopf & Hartel. At the age of 19 he ventured out on his own to apprentice under the premier Leipzig Piano Company of Breikopf & Hartel. Gustov spent the years of his late teens begging his father to send him to Leipzig to learn from the piano building masters and eventually his father consented. He began to play the piano for local theaters and soon his love of piano and his talent of wood working began to merge. When Gustav was not working for his father he spent the majority of his time admiring and absorbing music. As he grew into a young adult Gustav eventually joined his father’s successful furniture company and took on the roll of Master Crafstman. Gustav was the son of a local furniture maker and was recognized by his father at a young age for his natural talent for wood working. Schiller Pianos were established in Germany in 1884 by Gustav Joahann Schiller.
