Pioneer and soul of piano manufacturing
The German Gaotian Piano Factory is now the sixth generation of family business. Over the years, the only thing that hasn't changed is our love of music, which has gone through all kinds of sweets and sorrows and countless ups and downs. In 1830, Friedrich Gauten left Germany as an instrumental merchant for Moscow, which attracted musicians and artists from all over the world, such as Carrara Schumann, Franz Liszt, Artur Rubenstein, etc. Here Friedrich Gauten met many of the world's top musicians and artists, and became close friends.

He constantly listened to the opinions of these musicians and artists, and according to the opinions of these musicians and artists, he specially and carefully built a piano that these music masters and artists dreamed of, and thus began the long road of producing high-end pianos.

Cooperative development
When Friedrich Gauten returned to Germany, he met Thordo Steinway and became a partner of the piano factory that had been founded in 1835.
In 1865, Teordo-Steinway followed his father to the United States, and before leaving, he sold all his shares and rights to the Gaotian family, and a few years later, William Gaotian inherited his father's business to take over the family business, and he was the one who later proposed that "children, build the best piano in the world, as long as this is done, everything else will be solved" became the motto of the Gaotian Piano Company.

Inspiration and experience
At the end of the 19th century, William Gaotian began to send his two sons, Willie and Kurt, to the world to learn the knowledge and experience of making top pianos, and they both understood that only by combining the accumulated knowledge with the rigor and exquisite craftsmanship of their Germans could it be possible to build a high-quality piano.

Under the leadership of generations of family descendants, the factory has made many new and patented inventions. Although the Gaotian factory suffered devastating bombing by the US military in World War II, after the end of World War II, under the command of the 4th generation of the family,D.Ewen and Helmut-Gaotian brothers, relying on the spirit of perseverance, the company was soon able to resume production.
