Alan, >>Tuned a little console today. Don't know the date because Pierce is a >>little confusing on this brand and it's various makers (looks like a 50's >>or 60's piano "Model 600", serial 321968 ... >> >>Anyway the brand is Schmoller & Mueller ... does that sound like two guys >>doing a Yiddish stand-up comedy shtick, or what! > > >Seeing that name dusted off some old memories - not good, just old. In >the late 70s, WITCC had a few of them for practice tuning. As I recall, >it is a decal brand for a defunct store in Omaha. More synapses working - access to Pierce, now that I'm at work - The vintage you saw was probably either S&C or K&C. (2 other law firm names .-) czeching... S&C date would be ~1961. K&C date would be ~1942. I'd guess S&C.
