Aeolian Steck's made in Gotha, Germany were .in my mind, superior to any upright piano made in Europe in the 'teens. If I could reach mine, I could tell you the name of the stamped German firm on the action. The ivories were the pure white that Aeolian used early on, with no demarcation between the heads and tails. The soundboard had a "stepped": effect, that is a two-level, construction. Have y'all seen this? Berley Antoine Firmin II
