Lindner Information

[antares]

The place where they built this monster was SHANNON in IRELAND.


It was the almost last attempt to make money.
I later met a son of Mr Rippen in Amsterdam in the work place of a
colleague.
My colleague said hello to me when I entered his work place but did not
introduce me to his guest.
Instead he said " ah! good of you to come, we want to ask you your opinion
of that upright piano over there".

I walked to 'that piano', played it for a short while, made up my mind and
said :

"I like it, it is a good piano, it reminds me of a better version of a well
known Dutch piano which is not fabricated anymore".

Then the un-introduced gentleman came forward, thanked me for my remark and
introduced himself as one of the sons of the (in Holland) well known Mr.
Rippen.

He later told me that the piano I had examined was a prototype made in
Malaysia. I don't know what happened to him and his new Malaysian made
product but I thought it was a remarkable story.
