[pianotech] Franz-Fuchs,Wein 1906?

[JWyatt1492 at aol.com]

Hello Dale,
 
    I have done a quick research on your   "  Franz Fuchs "
grand piano.
 
   It appears to be in outstanding condition.  My S.K.  Taylor
book gives the production date of  early 1911. In 1910  the 
number is 1150  in  1911---1230 
    
   It also gives a production time of 1903  ending  in  1925.
In 1938  This name appears again as  Fuchs -- Mohr.  ser. 
no. 12760  ending with 31515 in 1966.
   A notation states  " Made by VEB Mobelkombina,  Eisenberg."
 
    I think this piano will have a " Walther "   Viennese action but 
it could a Stein. 
 
  Both these actions are great actions ( three moving parts) 
including the key,  but a bit slower than the  Herz  -- Erard.
However they can be made faster. 
 
   Hope this helps,
 
   Jack Wyatt
