Ernst Irmier grand

Lane,

It probably is an Irmler. He gets a favourable mention in Dolge's 
book. These were very well made pianos. I don't know how they stack 
up when their design is considered from a contemporary standpoint. 
But the Irmler pianos I experienced some years ago were fine sounding 
pianos, regardless of any design flaws from a 'modern' standpoint.

They are probably listed in the Pierce Atlas.
