| Comments on this make |
Seiler are a well respected firm, making high quality pianos; all those we've come across have been overstrung underdampers. Upright Seilers made around 1900 are often very tall walnut or rosewood pianos with a deep rich tone. Those made from 1920 to about 1945 are mostly tall mahogany pianos and very stable in central heating. In 2000 they were still manufacturing about 1000 excellent pianos annually. Many new seilers have decorative casework.
