Hoffman piano

[Jim Coleman, Sr.]

Hi Frank:

For a very limited time there were pianos made in Mexico city with the
name Hoffman. They had polyester finishes. The keybed was made of laminated
pine and when planed or levelled, it looked pretty crumby. They uses Renner
hammers. These pianos were made by Sala Chopin.
