While the formal Flügel- und Klavierfabrik JA Pfeiffer was founded later by Josef Anton Pfeiffer in 1862, piano-making by members of the Pfeiffer family began in Upper Swabia and Stuttgart much earlier. Craftsmen in the family built handmade instruments, meaning an 1827 square piano from this line is an early, highly specialized piece of German keyboard history
