After learning the carpentry trade, he had already constructed his first clavichord by 1735. At that time, musical instruments were made primarily by carpenters, who had to apply to the city magistrate to obtain an official certificate of proficiency. In the Erlangen city register he is listed as organ and piano maker. One of Schiedmayer\u2019s most important customers was the hard-to-please composer and organist Christian Friedrich Daniel Schubart, who, wrote in his memoirs in 1791: \u201cI was at the time the best keyboard player and poet in Erlangen\u2026Driven by passions, I flitted thoughtlessly among my friends, without order, without wisdom, without diligence, without frugality, accumulating debt upon debt. My creditors threw me in jail where I languished for four weeks. With visits from my friends, a disconsolate girlfriend and a good piano from Sch\u00fcttmayer, I could nearly forget the shame of imprisonment\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n\n<style

instruments made by Balthasar Schiedmayer have survived. He died on October 5, 1781, leaving behind his three sons (Johann Christoph Georg (1740-1820), Adam Achatius (1745-1817) and Johann David Schiedmayer (1753-1805)) and an extensive knowledge base of skills, in addition to the house and workshop on 27 Theaterstrasse in Erlangen. The oldest son, Johann Christoph Georg, settled in Neustadt an der Aisch and became a well-known clavichord maker. In contrast to his brother Johann David, he left no shop record book listing the number, kind or recipient of the instruments he made. Some of his clavichords have survived and can be viewed at the Landesmuseum of Stuttgart and the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, Mass., USA, among other places. Balthasar\u2019s second son, Adam Achatius, spent his whole life as a piano maker in his birthplace, Erlangen.

In 1778 he had studied in Augsburg in the workshop of <strong>Johann Andreas Stein<\/strong>. Johann David resettled in <strong>Erlangen<\/strong> after the death of his father in 1781. A while later he followed his master carpenter to <strong>Nuremberg<\/strong>, since only he could do adequate justice to Johann David\u2019s high standards. The Schiedmayer workshop in Nuremberg was in a house at 5 Am Spitzberg, which was destroyed in World War II. Schiedmayer required two to four months for the manufacture of a fortepiano, building the instrument essentially with his own hands. The long fabrication time is reflected in the outstanding precision in his instruments, which gives them a preeminent position to this date. One of his instruments, a fortepiano no. 7 from the year 1783, was played during the anniversary celebration on October 16, 2011. Luckily, the shop records of Johann David have survived, including the following entry regarding this fortepiano: \u201cH. von Kerpen, Cathedral Capitulary in W\u00fcrzburg, received the 7th instrument. It was accepted with great approval, the price set at 300f. It left my hands on December 5, 1783, having accompanied it myself to W\u00fcrzburg.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\"

He was the first Schiedmayer to settle in Stuttgart. Johann Lorenz learned the trade from his father and at first continued running his father\u2019s workshop as well as keeping the shop records. But when Nuremberg was annexed to Bavaria in 1806 he left and moved to Vienna, to the friendly piano workshop of Andreas and Nanette Streicher. There he met and befriended the young piano maker Carl Friedrich Dieudonn\u00e9 of Ludwigsburg. When Vienna was occupied by the French for the second time, the two friends decided to leave the city and relocate to Stuttgart. Thus the firm of Dieudonn\u00e9 and Schiedmayer was formed in Stuttgart <strong>1809<\/strong> in a building behind the house on 4 Charlottenstrasse. The two friends were determined to continually improve their production techniques. They introduced the English mechanism and adapted their production techniques to it. Soon their enterprise became known beyond the boundaries of the region.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\"

Among the congratulations one came from King Wilhelm II and Queen Charlotte. No one could foresee that World War I would break out five years later. The war brought many losses including border closings, and shortages of materials and workers. In 1919 Adolf Jr., together with his nephew Gustav (son of Hermann Jr.), succeeded in reviving the firm to some extent. But when World War II broke out, the Schiedmayers found themselves in the same situation as 25 years previously with no materials, no work force and no contact with foreign customers. The plant was hit by bombs three times. The third time, on the night of July 26, 1944, it burned to the ground. The life work of the piano manufacturing family Schiedmayer in Stuttgart was wiped out. The company suffered a heavy blow.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-e8y8yk-88cdae6f74ed0a7878258c67f24acd26\">\n#top .av-special-heading.av-e8y8yk-88cdae6f74ed0a7878258c67f24acd26{\npadding-bottom:10px;\n}\nbody .av-special-heading.av-e8y8yk-88cdae6f74ed0a7878258c67f24acd26 .av-special-heading-tag .heading-char{\nfont-size:25px;\n}\n.av-special-heading.av-e8y8yk-88cdae6f74ed0a7878258c67f24acd26 .av-subheading{\nfont-size:15px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='av-special-heading av-e8y8yk-88cdae6f74ed0a7878258c67f24acd26 av-special-heading-h3  avia-builder-el-80  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_textblock '><h3 class='av-special-heading-tag '  itemprop=\"headline\"  >Post-War Reconstruction<\/h3><div class=\"special-heading-border\"><div class=\"special-heading-inner-border\"><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-1hqqg4s-e81f2af7ee740fb18a5b1871286cef92 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p><strong>After the war in 1946<\/strong>, only a few people believed in the possibility of reconstruction. However, he business head at the time, Gustav Schiedmayer (1883-1957), great-grandson of Johann Lorenz, did not despair. Already in September 1946, temporary reconstruction was started with the means at hand. In the 1960s, Gustav Schiedmayer and his son Georg (1931-1992) drew up a number of plans and applied for reconstruction permits. They were all rejected and finally permanently denied, since the cultural center was already planned for this lot. In 1969 Schiedmayer had to abandon the lot under threat of expropriation. Today, the House of History and the State Academy for Music and Representative Arts stand on this lot.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-d44rq4-42f69dd52e785f896dc3f11caa87b116\">\n#top .av-special-heading.av-d44rq4-42f69dd52e785f896dc3f11caa87b116{\npadding-bottom:10px;\n}\nbody .av-special-heading.av-d44rq4-42f69dd52e785f896dc3f11caa87b116 .av-special-heading-tag .heading-char{\nfont-size:25px;\n}\n.av-special-heading.av-d44rq4-42f69dd52e785f896dc3f11caa87b116 .av-subheading{\nfont-size:15px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='av-special-heading av-d44rq4-42f69dd52e785f896dc3f11caa87b116 av-special-heading-h3  avia-builder-el-82  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_three_fifth '><h3 class='av-special-heading-tag '  itemprop=\"headline\"  >Manufacturing in Altbach<\/h3><div class=\"special-heading-border\"><div class=\"special-heading-inner-border\"><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-1e42fzw-f1797b3a8f18696b5b48b686f94fad7a\">\n.flex_column.av-1e42fzw-f1797b3a8f18696b5b48b686f94fad7a{\nborder-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\npadding:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='flex_column av-1e42fzw-f1797b3a8f18696b5b48b686f94fad7a av_three_fifth  avia-builder-el-83  el_after_av_heading  el_before_av_two_fifth  first flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding  '     ><section  class='av_textblock_section av-4xkrwc-27988ee5ff82b13b7e109271f17d9923 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>In the same year, 1969, Georg Schiedmayer personally took over from Max and Hans Schiedmayer the firm of Schiedmayer Pianofabrik, formerly Julius &amp; Paul Schiedmayer, as sole owner and manager.

The markets were saturated and Asian piano brands became more and more established as global competitors. Cooperation with the Ibach company to produce pianos under the Schiedmayer label turned out to be impractical, and Georg Schiedmayer quickly withdrew from this unrewarding collaboration. Although Ibach continued to produce pianos under the Schiedmayer label, the Schiedmayer musical-instrument-building dynasty established in 1735 has nothing to do with pianos manufactured by Ibach. This refers in particular to the so-called Schiedmayer Pianos produced for Ibach by the firms of Roth &amp; Junius, Young Chang, Concorde, Kawai, Sauter, Seiler and Steinberger. We want to emphasize that neither the firm of Schiedmayer &amp; Sons nor Schiedmayer Pianofortefabrik, formerly J. &amp; P. Schiedmayer, ever sold their logos or trademark to Ibach.<\/p>\n<p>The Schiedmayer Pianofortefabrik, formerly J. &amp; P. Schiedmayer, which remained the property of Georg Schiedmayer and Elianne Schiedmayer, was still registered under the number HRA 761 at the District Court in Stuttgart. In 2008 the District Court ordered to dissolve the company due to inactivity.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-9147bg-c2ee344ff0394b876672c0e6b12e65f2\">\n#top .av-special-heading.av-9147bg-c2ee344ff0394b876672c0e6b12e65f2{\npadding-bottom:10px;\n}\nbody .av-special-heading.av-9147bg-c2ee344ff0394b876672c0e6b12e65f2 .av-special-heading-tag .heading-char{\nfont-size:25px;\n}\n.av-special-heading.av-9147bg-c2ee344ff0394b876672c0e6b12e65f2 .av-subheading{\nfont-size:15px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='av-special-heading av-9147bg-c2ee344ff0394b876672c0e6b12e65f2 av-special-heading-h3  avia-builder-el-90  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_textblock '><h3 class='av-special-heading-tag '  itemprop=\"headline\"  >The Specialization in Celestas<\/h3><div class=\"special-heading-border\"><div class=\"special-heading-inner-border\"><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-115glrw-06df20afcc0254fbceab74d5f7abe203 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>In the course of the takeover of the Schiedmayer Pianofortefabrik, the firm of Schiedmayer &amp; Sons extended its business portfolio by incorporating the celesta production.

Seven years later Georg Schiedmayer died unexpectedly. His widow Elianne Schiedmayer, nee Villard, pianist and music pedagogue, took over the directorship of the firm. She decided in 1995, (after the death of her mother-in-law Henriette Schiedmayer) to found Schiedmayer Celestabau GmbH. Five years later, in 2000, the enterprise moved to its own facilities in Wendlingen am Neckar, near Stuttgart, and since 2003 has traded under the name \u201cSchiedmayer Celesta GmbH. Executive Partner: Elianne Schiedmayer.<\/p>\n<p>This company was founded on the fortunate decision of Georg Schiedmayer in 1980 to specialize on the production of celestas and keyboard glockenspiels with wooden resonators. Schiedmayer instruments continue to be produced in Wendlingen and are truly \u201cMade in Germany.\u201d The product line encompasses four models of celestas (4 to 51\/2 octaves), keyboard glockenspiels and integrated celestas\/glockenspiels.<\/p>\n<p>Schiedmayer instruments represent the finest quality in handcrafted instruments. Their quality derives\u00a0 not only from the skill of the workers, but also from the specially seasoned materials chosen for the instruments. At Schiedmayer, a celesta takes up to twelve weeks to finish.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-v2my3g-e5686ab68a91dbbe5ca5911f25bde654\">\n.flex_column.av-v2my3g-e5686ab68a91dbbe5ca5911f25bde654{\nborder-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\npadding:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='flex_column av-v2my3g-e5686ab68a91dbbe5ca5911f25bde654 av_two_fifth  avia-builder-el-95  el_after_av_three_fifth  el_before_av_heading  flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding  '     ><p>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-scefa4-4cbecc636455dc79d84a00ea0157cd4e\">\n.avia-image-container.av-scefa4-4cbecc636455dc79d84a00ea0157cd4e img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-scefa4-4cbecc636455dc79d84a00ea0157cd4e .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-scefa4-4cbecc636455dc79d84a00ea0157cd4e av-styling- avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-96  el_before_av_textblock  avia-builder-el-first '   itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><img decoding=\"async\" fetchpriority=\"high\" class='wp-image-722 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-722 avia_image ' src=\"https:\/\/www.celesta-schiedmayer.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Elianne-Schiedmayer-243x300.jpg\" alt='Elianne Schiedmayer' title='Elianne Schiedmayer'  height=\"300\" width=\"243\"  itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.celesta-schiedmayer.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Elianne-Schiedmayer-243x300.jpg 243w, https:\/\/www.celesta-schiedmayer.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Elianne-Schiedmayer.jpg 366w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 243px) 100vw, 243px\" \/><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-s0y1lo-96a77e3bd0e464b33cedf745dd564ebd '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p style=\"text-align: center;\">Elianne Schiedmayer<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-2hz9nw-fba83b1bff051d34cdce20f5ca17d530\">\n.avia-image-container.av-2hz9nw-fba83b1bff051d34cdce20f5ca17d530 img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-2hz9nw-fba83b1bff051d34cdce20f5ca17d530 .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-2hz9nw-fba83b1bff051d34cdce20f5ca17d530 av-styling- av-img-linked avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-98  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_textblock '   itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.celesta-schiedmayer.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/schiedmayer_gebaeude-7381-small-1030x687.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.celesta-schiedmayer.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/schiedmayer_gebaeude-7381-small-1030x687.jpg 1030w, https:\/\/www.celesta-schiedmayer.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/schiedmayer_gebaeude-7381-small-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.celesta-schiedmayer.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/schiedmayer_gebaeude-7381-small-1500x1001.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/www.celesta-schiedmayer.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/schiedmayer_gebaeude-7381-small-705x471.jpg 705w, https:\/\/www.celesta-schiedmayer.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/schiedmayer_gebaeude-7381-small-450x300.jpg 450w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1030px) 100vw, 1030px\" class='avia_image '  aria-label='schiedmayer_gebaeude-7381 -

Among others, the Japanese firm Yamaha \u2013 formerly a customer of the Schiedmayer factory \u2013 has been producing since 1993 a new instrument with a grand piano mechanism (a different mechanism from that which Mustel specified for the sound production) which it calls \u201ccelesta.\u201d In this new instrument the sound plates are struck from below, as in a piano. The Wendlingen firm of Schiedmayer Celesta GmbH has no objection to competition when it is fair. Industry insiders know that each musical instrument has its own construction specifications and with it, its own name. A spinet, for instance, is not a harpsichord, a clarinet not an oboe, and a guitar not a lute.<\/p>\n<p>The worldwide success of the Schiedmayer celestas comes as a result of a combination of the exclusive use of the best materials with knowledgeable and dedicated craftsmanship, together with over 120 years of experience in the production of celestas.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n\n<style

Even in remote southern hemisphere locations, such as Frutillar Bajo in Chile and Hobart in Tasmania Schiedmayer instruments can be found today.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-5c3jcc-1fa5c77f6a513afbec5e577f8e93d3e6\">\n.flex_column.av-5c3jcc-1fa5c77f6a513afbec5e577f8e93d3e6{\nborder-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\npadding:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='flex_column av-5c3jcc-1fa5c77f6a513afbec5e577f8e93d3e6 av_two_fifth  avia-builder-el-110  el_after_av_three_fifth  el_before_av_hr  flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding  '     ><div  class='avia-button-wrap av-4y2cm4-5f90a9c74a70d573b9a46cb66111dbbb-wrap avia-button-left  avia-builder-el-111  avia-builder-el-no-sibling '><a href='https:\/\/www.celesta-schiedmayer.de\/en\/company\/our-clients\/'  class='avia-button av-4y2cm4-5f90a9c74a70d573b9a46cb66111dbbb av-link-btn avia-icon_select-yes-left-icon avia-size-large avia-position-left avia-color-theme-color'   aria-label=\"Our Clients\"><span class='avia_button_icon avia_button_icon_left avia-iconfont avia-font-entypo-fontello' data-av_icon='\ue800' data-av_iconfont='entypo-fontello' ><\/span><span class='avia_iconbox_title' >Our Clients<\/span><\/a><\/div><\/div>\n<div  class='hr av-2613jw-be22acacac4e9c3500c5b33dd58e187c hr-default  avia-builder-el-112  el_after_av_two_fifth  el_before_av_heading '><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-1ywr5o-a79156a87400804be195f4fa4d050b89\">\n#top .av-special-heading.av-1ywr5o-a79156a87400804be195f4fa4d050b89{\npadding-bottom:10px;\n}\nbody .av-special-heading.av-1ywr5o-a79156a87400804be195f4fa4d050b89 .av-special-heading-tag .heading-char{\nfont-size:25px;\n}\n.av-special-heading.av-1ywr5o-a79156a87400804be195f4fa4d050b89 .av-subheading{\nfont-size:15px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='av-special-heading av-1ywr5o-a79156a87400804be195f4fa4d050b89 av-special-heading-h3 blockquote modern-quote modern-centered  avia-builder-el-113  el_after_av_hr  el_before_av_textblock '><h3 class='av-special-heading-tag '  itemprop=\"headline\"  >Are you interested in our instruments?<\/h3><div class=\"special-heading-border\"><div class=\"special-heading-inner-border\"><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-jkctd5sr-912e56b5b90ffd6b1dc0508065df56b4 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p style=\"text-align: center;\">We would be happy to inform you about our instruments and offers<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n<div  class='avia-button-wrap av-jkctdk1e-6d9959fe3ed0b49a9005027a4dfecba0-wrap avia-button-center  avia-builder-el-115  el_after_av_textblock  avia-builder-el-last '><a href='https:\/\/www.celesta-schiedmayer.de\/en\/contact-2\/contact-us\/'  class='avia-button av-jkctdk1e-6d9959fe3ed0b49a9005027a4dfecba0 av-link-btn avia-icon_select-yes-left-icon avia-size-small avia-position-center avia-color-theme-color'   aria-label=\"Click for more informations\"><span class='avia_button_icon avia_button_icon_left avia-iconfont avia-font-entypo-fontello' data-av_icon='\ue800' data-av_iconfont='entypo-fontello' ><\/span><span class='avia_iconbox_title' >Click for more informations<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":1169,"menu_order":7,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-1308","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.celesta-schiedmayer.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1308","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.celesta-schiedmayer.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.celesta-schiedmayer.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.celesta-schiedmayer.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.celesta-schiedmayer.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1308"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.celesta-schiedmayer.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1308\/revisions"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.celesta-schiedmayer.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1169"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.celesta-schiedmayer.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1308"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
