This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Hi Mark, Geyer was one of the brands built by the "VEB Möbelkombinat Eisenberg" in former DDR (east-Germany). It was very cheap instruments made at this state-owned company. I have been told that the DDR-communist-state at that time exported large amounts of cheap pianos to get "hard" currency (DM or US$) to the state. To achieve that, they had to avoid using western parts... Only Blüthner (and sometimes August Förster) used Renner Actions. I can give you a few numbers, in case you find a serial number: 1968: 36350 / 1970: 44310 / 1972: 54490.

A customer of ours is looking to sell a Geyer baby grand piano in high polish walnut. Based on purchase dates, the piano is estimated to be approximately 30 years old but no serial number was found and beside the point there is no information in the Pierce Atlas regarding this company other than the country of manufacture - Germany. All parts of the piano are in good shape with normal wear and tear for a 30 year old piano. There is one hairline fracture in the treble bridge. The pin block is also soft for a 30 year-old-piano. There is one wierd thing about the piano, the areas that were faded by sun are not only faded but have turned a shade of green. The finish does not seem to be affected, it is still very smooth, It is only the color that seems to have been affected by the sun. Although the piano is in reasonable shape, the greened portion of the piano makes it a less saleable item. Does anyone have any experience with Geyer? Has anyone ever run across this fading problem? And is there any way to correct this problem short of full refinishing? Any assistance would be appreciated. Thanks in advance for your help! ~Mark ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
