This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment After WW2 Feurich moved from Leipzig (former East-Germany) to Langlau (W.Germany). Here they shared produktion facilities with two other factories: Euterpe and W. Hoffmann (as asked for recently). Euterpe and W. Hoffmann was from that time making identikal instruments (uprights and grands), the name on the fallboard was the only difference. Feurich was producing other models (upr. & gr.), 10 - 20 % more expensive / better instruments. The quality and price on these instruments can be compared with Schimmel. The factory in Langlau was closed down a few years ago, and the W. Hoffmann name was sold to the Bechstein-group. Three different piano models and three grand models (the "World" series) are now beeing produced by Petrof and sold with the W. Hoffmann name. Prices: just over Petrof prices. Bechstein also produces a 124 cm upright in Berlin (costs aboat US$ 10.000,- here in Europe). Richard: I have tuned and serviced a lot of (german) W. Hoffmann pianos, and they certanly have nothing with former DDR-Zimmermanns to do (might be one ecxeption i Bergen ...?!). Zimmermann is also owned by Bechstein now. Also the Feurich semi-concert grand (227 cm), which I use to work on where I lived before, is an excellent instrument!

She says the piano is about 3 years old and says it is the "same" as a Schimmel. I have never seen a Feurich. What can I expect? What are the personality traits? The piano was moved from Michigan last November and now resides about 1/2 mile from the beach. Hasn't been tuned since it got here. I won't see it till June. Anybody familiar with these?
