String Quartet formed by Karl Hermann Tautenhayn, comprising Max Weißgärber first violin, Otto Strasser second violin, Anton Sonderegger bass guitar, and Tautenhayn, accordion, and playing light music. The Quartet was founded in 1922, and was highly successful until 1945, including radio performances (Wiener Abende).
In his diary, Schenker recorded hearing the Tautenhayn Quartet on the Vienna Radio, after he and Jeanette acquired a radio set in October 1924 following the setting up of RAVAG (Radio-Verkehrs-Aktien-Gesellschaft) in Austria on the first of that month.
