Johann Georg Grober
Johann Georg Gröber (born March 30, 1775 in Pettneu ; † November 12, 1849 in Innsbruck ) was an Austrian organ builder .
life and work
On August 1, 1805, Johann Georg Gröber finished his three-year apprenticeship with Ignaz Kober in Vienna, where he was trained in the manufacture of piano instruments, fortepianos and organs. First of all, his request of January 25, 1806 was initially rejected after an objection by Joseph Fuchs II. Only when Gröber was able to present a certificate from the municipality of Pettneu , in which the successful repair of the local organ was documented, did he receive the license to build fortepiano and organ on October 18, 1806. In 1835 he acquired the license to replicate the Terpodion from Johann David Buschmann . A grand piano by Gröber has been preserved in the Tyrolean State Museum Ferdinandeum .
