Bob You have two different spellings on the name: Schulz and Shutz. There is a difference. There are many variations of Schultz, Schultze, Schutze, etc. So make sure you have the exact spelling. In Chicago there was a Otto Schulz, which, according to the serial number, would have put this piano at about 1909. There is a Schutz, A & Co. in Brieg Germany, (I don't know where that is, but maybe Jurgen will know). But no dates were given. (all this information was found in the Atlas, which I presume you have.)

Schulz (model185) serial#41236 Can anyone tell me about this grand, the lady had all the papers from it she had bought in Germany in a town not far from Frankfort. There were no markings on the piano at all expect on the fall board which said Gerb.Schutz. She said she bought it new about 20 years ago. It didn't look at all to me like it was made in Germany. Like I said any markings that may have been in the usual places looked as though they had been removed. Any idea's out there Wim or Duane? someone most know something about these instruments,Sincerely, Robert E. Wall St.Louis -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
