1842  Johann Christian Gottlieb Irmler invented a new action for grand pianos, which allowed faster repetition and better control compared to the constructions used in these days. In the same year he was honored by the King of Saxony with the Great Golden Saxony Royal State Medal for his achievements, the highest award of the state of Saxony.

1889  The excellent grand pianos gained a wide reputation, which helped to make his instruments very popular outside of the Germany. Numerous instruments were exported, mainly to thriving Russian and the Scandinavian kingdoms.

1943  In 1943, together with the many other piano firms , including Blüthner, the factory was bombed and burned down to the ground. The factory buildings in Leplaystrasse and the big magazine in Turnerstrasse were completely destroyed. This would normally have been the end of a successful history, but soon after World War II the family decided to start the business again. Under Russian occupation it was very difficult to re-establish proper buildings suitable for piano making. When Mr. Irmler passed away the family escaped to the west. In 1953 the eastern German administration decided not to continue this great history.

1999  In 1999, the well known Irmler Piano Company was re-established. Based on the philosophy of Johann Gottlieb Irmler, today Irmler Piano GmbH manufactures affordable instruments with an outstanding value to making it possible for everyone to enjoy playing the piano.

Today  the company is thriving due to its fine instruments. A wide selection of the finest finishes are available. The use of noble timber had always been something special, manufactured by hand, selected by fine craftsman. An Irmler always creates an elegant and comfortable atmosphere.
