Very Rare and Important Anton Walter

Anton Walter (Neuhausen near Stuttgart 1752 – Vienna 1826) moved to Vienna between 1774 and 1776. Probably already in 1779 but certainly by 1782, Walter became an associate member of the guild of organ and instrument makers of Vienna. In 1790 he was granted the title of Royal Imperial Chamber Organ Builder and Instrument Maker. He left his pianos without an inscription, as in the case of Mozart’s piano, or inscribed them Anton Walter in Wien. After about 1805 the pianos are inscribed Anton Walter und Sohn in Wien.
