---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Coffee or not Jeannie its hard to be a nisse-man in this world and still make any sense out of the names they put on pianos these days. Its getting to the point where only a very few have names that make any sense relative to the actual piano anymore. Personally, I find the whole thing a bit sour tasting. Just like it seems wrong in my gut to strip down a Steinway to its rim, replace everything in a way Steinwway would never think of doing and still call it a Steinway. Many, if not most, of these old names were smaller companies started by some guy (gal?) who had a burning desire to build and design a piano.... and put his heart and soul into them... some were better then others... but instruments bearing these same names made in elsewhere by people who care nothing about the origional traditions, not to speak of quality pianos in general,....... hmmmm... me no like. So... Schiedmayer, Shildringsvorst, Sternbach, Skartoffelsalat, and whatever others their might be....made in Indonesia or somesuch place..... easy to get confused coffee or not.
