Pfreimer Piano Hammer Company

[J Patrick Draine]

Richard,
There was an article in the Journal several years ago, either an
interview with Ray Negron, or perhaps written entirely by Ray. In it
he conveyed some Pfriemer (sp?) history, as well as (of course)
information about Ronson. Check it out, and then phone or email Ray.
