There are many older Altenburg pianos here in the East. I trained for a short time in the late 50's at the factory in Elizebeth, N.J. They were no longer making new pianos but doing a good amount of restoration. Otto Jr. operated several retail outlets in Northern N.J.

And get this---It's a 9' concert grand. Pretty decent actually. Renner action and hammers.I'm guessing that not many of these made the trip from the far east.

Guy kept telling me it was made by Bosendorfer. Guy was a lunatic. Sure looked and sounded like a Korean piano to me. Ten years old. Where was this paino made? I sure wish I could find my Pierce Atlas...... :-( Terry Farrell Farrell Piano www.farrellpiano.com terry at farrellpiano.com -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
