The company enjoyed an excellent reputation, and its instruments were considered some of the finest in Europe. Oswald Irmler continued to run the company until his death in 1905, at which point his sons took over the business. The Irmler Piano Company continued to build high-quality, expensive pianos in Leipzig until it ceased operations in the 1950s.
