The Tradition Continues as our products carry our reputation

In the 19th century, Hoe Fook Ling at the age of 12+, the only son of a Sundry Manager was sent to Japan to learn the art of piano making by his father. In 1920, Hoe Fook Ling decided to emigrate from Ningbo Shanghai China to Singapore leaving his wife, his only son and 6 daughters behind.

During his time in Singapore, his only son Hoe Ah Choy joined the first British piano business Moutrie, Robinson & Company operating in Shanghai China working as a piano apprentice. In Singapore, Hoe Fook Ling setup a piano company called Union Piano and a branch office in Malaysia (then known as Malaya) with a relative. Not long after, he successfully built his first piano in his workshop under the brand 'Kinner'. However, at the age of 48 he sold everything in Singapore and went back to China because his father was very ill.

While in China, Moutrie, Robinson & Company's pianos enjoyed great recognition and begin assembling piano locally around 1870. Over the years, the pianos were also sold to the Southern Asian countries. In 1936, Hoe Ah Choy at the age of 25, was transferred to Malaysia (then known as Malaya) working as a tuner and repairer for Moutrie, Robinson & Company.

Moutrie, Robinson & Company closed down in the early 1950s. In 1951, Hoe Ah Choy and his wife Kong Kim Goh setup a small business, Wagner Piano Company at Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman (then known as Batu Road) selling new imported pianos from United Kingdom such as Kemble, J & J Hopkinson, Rogers, Bentley, John Brinsmead, Leswien and Zender and introduced WAGNER piano.

Not long after, he started piano assembling from semi-completed form from United Kingdom and later from Germany and Japan with the help of his sons and daughters. As the demand grows the shop became too small and in 1960, the company moved to a larger premise at Jalan Dang Wangi (then known as Campbell Road) and later at Jalan Imbi. There, he went one step further producing piano cabinets locally in order to stay competitive.

The eldest son, Hoe Tuck Wah and his siblings was sent in 1969 on tour of piano factories in the United Kingdom, Europe, the United States, Korea, Japan and Taiwan to study the various techniques of piano construction.

In 1972, Hoe Tuck Wah with the help of his brothers and sisters setup Musical Product Sdn Bhd at Lahat Perak manufacturing pianos under license of English and German marque.

On the 16 April 1975, Wagner Piano Company was renamed to Wagner Piano Sdn Bhd. Soon after, branch offices were setup in various states and appointed over 15 dealers across Malaysia.

In 1980s, Wagner Petrof Piano Pte Ltd (formerly known as Petrof Piano House) was formed in Singapore as agent of WAGNER, PETROF, WEINBACH, ROSLER & SCHOLZE pianos for Southeast Asia and Australasia.
