This would be one of the original Brambach pianos. Mark Campbell did not take over the company until 1912. Even then the transformation from the original Brambach and the later, much more mass-produced pianos did not take place immediately. This might be quite a nice piano. Given that it is now some 94 years old and its original builders only expected it to last something on the order of 20 to 25 years.

Is this a Grand or an Upright??? Need to know! If it's a grand, there are some anomolies with the Brambach, that I can answer, as I own one, that is a "loner piano", that MUST be up to snuff. Keeping it that way does present challenges, even for me.<G> Keep in mind that Brambach pianos, in general, were inexpensive pianos, made to "fly out the door"!<G> Some of the engineering and materials were truly suspect, IMO. They can be decent, however. Regards, Joe Garrett, R.P.T. (Oregon) Captain, Tool Police Squares R I -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
