German scale

[Jarred Finnigan]

It means the scale was "designed" by a German (Klaus Fenner) or at least
he had some input.  Its just a sales gimmick, if you put the word
"German" on the piano it must be good!

Friends,

A customer asked me what the brass plaque on the left cheekblock of
their 1989 Samick console means.  It says "Imperial German scale."  I
said I don't know.  Can someone tell me?  On the plate it also says
"scale design by K. Fenner."  Is this something special, or just another
sales gimmick?

Jarred

Regards,
Clyde
