[CAUT] Hornung and Moller?

[Jim Busby]

Thanks Fred,

 

My serial #s are 54026 and 54190. May have been towards their final
hurrah. 

 

Fred, as a pianist, is a two pedal piano pretty much undesirable? 

 

Thanks.

Jim

The 1984 Musician's Piano Atlas (an English near equivalent of Pierce)
lists them up to 1972, at which point the serial # was 54401. Founded
around 1840, Copenhagen. A typical size European maker, looks like they
never made as many as 1000 in a year. One assumes they folded after
1972.

They're Danish.  I've tuned two in this area and they were ok.  One was
a newer low price spinet, the other was a considerably older grand that
in its day was probably pretty nice.  I have no idea what the company is
doing now or even if they still exist.  Maybe some of our European
colleagues can tell us.

List,



We have two 7 foot "Hornung and Moller" grands we need to sell and I
really don't know much about the name. These are 1971 grands with two
pedals. They have Renner actions. When tuned/voiced/regulated they
actually sound pretty good.



I googled the name and didn't bring up anything.



Any info you could share? Suggestions?



Thanks.
