[CAUT] Re [Caut]:Sauter

[Eric Johnson]

Sauter is an important maker, but I am not completely objective since I
think even Feurich (the smallest of the small German makers) deserves an
entry!

Sauter maintains a direct family link and has, in my opinion, a
corresponding focus on quality and history.  Ulrich will have family members
to answer to when he reaches the next dimension!

Sauter, like Grotrian, has a modern German factory and utilizes modern
woodworking technology wherever it makes sense, in contrast to some of the
more craft-house oriented makers. This, again in my opinion, has led to
their work with materials like titanium etc. In addition to materials, they
have been aggressive in expanding the design choices available to piano
buyers.

The Sauter has an individual tone and extremely consistent high quality and,
as has been mentioned, reaches out to the musical community in interesting
and creative ways.
