[pianotech] Feurich of Germany

[David Ilvedson]

I have a couple of customers:   one old upright...fabulous and one newer 6'ish grand...beautiful, although we are nearing action rebuild time.   If they are still making that quality of piano, I'd think go for it...wouldn't Hamburg rebuild one of their pianos?
