Tom, That piano is a Smith, Nixon and Strohber Co.  We have one in the
shop for re-string.  5'7", no agraffes.  The one we have has Strohber on
the fallboard.  This company is listed in the Pierce Piano Atlas under
Smith Nixon and Stroeber.  If yours says Sohmer, I'm sure it is
"mis-nomeclated".
Have fun,
Dave Robinson, S. Jersey

List,
I came across a nice older grand today with the name Sohmer on the
fallboard. However from all indications I doubt very much it is a
Sohmer. The piano was purchased from a shady outfit and had been
refinished. Me thinks there was some "fraudulating" goin' on with the
name Sohmer being attached to it.
For all you Chicago trivia buffs, what company used  "SB-SC- Chicago"
cast into their plate emblem?
No agraffes throughout, just capo d'astro from top to bottom.
Very wide bridges
Killer in the power and projection category
Size: 6 ft
Overall, a fairly decent piano.
IMy guess is a Lyon & Healey.  Maybe Story & Clark or Schaff?

Tom Servinsky, RPT
