My condolences.

Not what, but how.  Brambach was not the premier, top-0-the-line or even
the standard piano made.  Yes, much denigration of the marque has been
made, but much has been, IMMHO, richly deserved.

Look it over carefully, as you naturally would any appraisal and judge it
on it's own merits, not what I may have said about it in the past. ;-}

Talk about "Antiques Roadshow"...  I'm sure that there are some '62
Ramblers on the road, somewhere, but that doesn't make them extremely
valuable.
