[pianotech] Cramer piano

[David Boyce]

The first serial number listed in The Musician's Piano Atlas is 15000, 
from 1880. For the serial number you give, your dating is correct.

What's to telll, about Cramer?  An English maker of decent, ordinary 
pianos.  Kemble bought them around 1960, and I daresay the Cramer name 
may survive and may make an appearance on Chinese pianos.  You will have 
to assess the quality of the one you looked at on its own merits, I guess.

This retailer makes some observations on Cramer here
