Klavierhaus was founded in 1993 by Gabor and Sujatri Reisinger in New York City.

The brothers became known in professional circles for their high quality craftsmanship and their collaborative approach to creating instruments according to the individual needs of artists.

As a result, their efforts have earned international acclaim from world-class performers as well as students, teachers, and music aficionados across all genres.

For the last 30 years, many of the world’s most important pianists have worked with Klavierhaus and performed on their pianos.

The list includes Richard Goode, Sir Andras Schiff, Angela Hewitt, Garrick Ohlsson, Herbie Hancock, Simone Dinnerstein, Yuja Wang, Geri Allen,  Gyorgy Kurtag, Frank Kimbrough, Jeremy Denk and others.

Klavierhaus’ concert pianos have appeared on stage at venues such as Lincoln Center, Carnegie Hall, the Kennedy Center, the White House, Library of Congress, Jazz at Lincoln Center, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Whitney Museum of American Art, and have been included in the Yale Collection of Musical Instruments.
