Brambach ????

[Delwin D Fandrich]

Jack, I was looking over your post on the Brambach grands and wondered -- do you
know when these various scales were introduced?

Hello Del : 

   Brambach made three sizes of grands. 
One was Style 'B'  4 feet 8 inches the next 
was style 'D'  5 feet and the style G was 
5 feet 3 inches.  Of these the G was by far 
a better scale than the others. 
  The actions were all the same. They had 
an  adjustable repetition spring and the jack 
spring was a coil spring.  Each has worked 
well for at least 80 years that I know of. 
 I have found that this action could be made 
to perform at a higher level than most people 
need.     
  This brand of piano was not intended to be 
a high performing piano.  It was intended to 
be an adequate piano for many people. 
  These  pianos are rebuildable but I for one 
cannot make them better that they were 
intended disposable pianos as. The wood 
and felts were of very high quality. 
  They were very successful at doing all of 
the above. 
    You could compare them to a little car that 
could not run 120 miles an hour.  But they 
would run at 80 miles an hour for 200,000 
miles.     
    Both "Premier" and "Ricca" took a run at 
them and both failed.  I am not even considering 
"H.C. Bay".   ( facts are always dull)   right !!!! 
   Del,  on a side note I will have three new action 
models at TSA. There are two that I would like to 
get your opinion on. 

Regards, 
Jack Wyatt
