I've long been a Feurich fan. I see them occasionally as there used to be a dealer in LA (Comsky). They used to make a model with a striking rosewood case which I would see from time to time. I bought an early 70's 227 from a customer a couple of years ago. It needed some action work and a little spiffing up of the gloss finish, but otherwise was in nice condition. My intention was to spruce it up a bit and sell it. But I ended up liking it so well I've kept it around the shop as my personal instrument. Nice piano. Not a big bass considering the size, but crisp, clean, and nicely balanced. I like it. I believe the factory may have gone through some ownership or management changes since that time (as has Germany) so I'm not sure if the company is the same now as it was. Perhaps someone out there knows more about them. Phil Ford At 03:14 PM 9/9/2003, you wrote: >Last week, I tuned Feurich 227.
