[CAUT] Hornung and Moller/ surplus website

[Jim Busby]

Thanks Ed, Don, Dave, Jon, Fred, others.

 

It's good to get some info, and at least I learned that others have seen good pianos of this make. (IOW, it isn't in the PSO, or POS category). I actually like it, but we're getting some Steinway donations so we need room... Gee, life is hard sometimes. Decisions, decisions.

 

We'll post pictures on our http://surplus.byu.edu/ site in about a week. It has a very interesting custom inlay on the fallboard; "BYU" in an extremely flowery, artsy shape. I guess that precludes it for sale to any other university!

 

BTW, I thought you might be interested in how we sell our pianos. The web site above has some things you might want to look at/Laugh at/add to/borrow, etc. (Scroll down for piano info) Some of the wording is rough, but at least we can refer people to the site rather than go through the spiel over and over on the phone.

 

Thanks again.

 Jim Busby BYU

The firm Hornung & Møller was established by Conrad Christian Hornung (1801-1873) in Copenhagen in 1827, according to Dolge. In the late 1860s and early 1870s they were awarded prizes at exhibitions in Vienna and Paris. According to Clinkscale (Piano and their Makers) the firms still existed in the 1990s.  The late-19th-century and early-20th-century grand pianos were superb.  I have never seen an instrument from the 1970s.
