Sohmer

[Lynn Rosenberg]

    I just want to make some comments concerning Sohmer pianos.  I my
experrience, the Sohmers that were made in New York city were much more
stable, then the ones made in Conneticut and Pennsylvania.  Climate
controlls not only help tuning stability in Sohmers but in most other
pianos.  I maintained for years, Sohers, Baldwins, Everetts in school
districts, and they were very stable pianos. I think thes pianos are more
stable than Young Changs, bostons, and some Yamahas.  I have always felt,
that pianos with back posts were more stable.  It's too bad that the Sohmer
piano co. out of New York city and the Everett pianos made in Michigon are
no longer being manufacturered.  Lynn Rosenberg
