Do you mean August Förster? If so, these are German pianos of relative high 
quality. Old Försters are very nice, too. I played in a Big Band on a newer 
Förster and I liked it. But the dampers are a little bit weak.

Förster produced an Elektrochord in 1932, a grand with pickups. And a 
"Vierteltonflügel" with two keyboards and two frames and two stringsets. 
These sets were different tuned for a quarter ("Viertel") of a note:
