Question from a rank amatuer

[Delwin D Fandrich]

This would be one of the original Brambach pianos. Mark Campbell did not take
over the company until 1912. Even then the transformation from the original
Brambach and the later, much more mass-produced pianos did not take place
immediately. This might be quite a nice piano. Given that it is now some 94
years old and its original builders only expected it to last something on the
order of 20 to 25 years.

".... has been restoring a 1910 Brambach piano."
 
Is  this  a Grand or  an  Upright???  Need  to know!  If  it's  a grand,  there
are  some  anomolies  with  the Brambach,  that  I can  answer,  as I  own  one,
that  is  a "loner piano",  that  MUST be up to snuff.  Keeping  it that  way
does  present  challenges, even  for me.<G>
Keep in mind that Brambach pianos, in  general,  were  inexpensive  pianos,
made  to  "fly out  the door"!<G>  Some  of   the engineering  and materials
were  truly  suspect,  IMO. They can  be decent, however.
