For all piano enthusiasts, here is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.  Atlantic Music Cener is honored and privileged to welcome Udo Steingraeber to our Melbourne store on Monday, February 13, 2012.  Udo, the sixth generation, is the current owner of Steingraeber & Söhne Pianos located, since 1852, in the famously musical town of Bayreuth, Germany.  You may recognize the name Bayreuth as the home of renowned composers Franz Liszt and Richard Wagner.

Steingraeber & Söhne is a world leader in piano innovations.  The most recent are the use of carbon fiber soundboards, as well as a collaboration with British engineer Richard Dain, on his new "PHOENIX" energy transmission system.  Understandably, a company that is always striving to improve and is willing to try new ideas has been the recipient of numerous awards.  In fact, Steingraeber has won the Paris Piano Competitions' highest award - "Best of the Very Best" - more than any other piano!

The historic Steingraeber house, the companies headquarters since 1852, has remained a meeting place for artists to this day.

If you would like to meet Udo Steingraeber, please contact Atlantic Music Center at 321-725-5690.

Steingraeber & Söhne Pianos were selected for the Florida State Music Teachers Association (FSMTA) Annual Convention.  The 2011 convention was held November 3-6 at the Hilton Oceanfront Daytona Beach.

Steingraeber & Söhne pianos were used for the FSMTA concerts, piano competitions and master classes.  The models D232 and C212 were supplied by Atlantic Music Center of Melbourne, FL.  In addition, the FSMTA Foundation provided a special concert with pianist Jamila Tekalli, performing on a Steingraeber 205 grand piano, also provided by Atlantic Music Center.

Atlantic Music Center is the U.S. Agent for Steingraeber Pianos of Bayreuth, Germany.
