Nice, even sound. Fairly even and regulatable (for an upright) action. Danish modern cases in either teak, walnut or rosewood. Some models even had a keybed/frame/fallboard setup that folded flat against the case. Obviously designed for quite small areas. Much easier to tune than some Kimballs, Wurlitzers (and others) I've seen... Ah, well...the evening mists of remembrance... Best to all.
