[pianotech] Otto Altenburg Piano - Maker

[Carlos Ralon]

There are many older Altenburg pianos here in the East. I trained for a short time in the late 50's at the factory in Elizebeth, N.J. They were no longer making new pianos but doing a good amount of restoration. Otto Jr. operated several retail outlets in Northern N.J.

  I service an Altenburg from mid 1980's and it is a Samick.
  And get this---It's a 9' concert grand. Pretty decent actually. Renner action and hammers.I'm guessing that not many of these made the trip from the far east.

    I tuned an Otto Altenburg (or some name close to that) today. Guy kept telling me it was made by Bosendorfer. Guy was a lunatic. Sure looked and sounded like a Korean piano to me. Ten years old. Where was this paino made?

    I sure wish I could find my Pierce Atlas......  :-(
