<div> Hi Bob,<br> <br> <font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">I work on a grand and a couple of uprights.  One upright shouldn't count, because it's actually a model that's made by the W. Steinberg company in Germany.  It's more like a 125 or 126 cm piano.  Great piano, but probably not what you're asking about.  <br> <br> The other upright is Chinese-built, and it isn't bad, but since these are fairly new to me as well, I can't give any assessment on the durability.  <br> <br> The grand I work on has potential to be okay, but as with most Chinese  pianos, out of the crate it is rough around the edges and needs a fair amount of prep work to get it to an acceptable level of performance.  Unfortunately, the one is already in my client's house and has not as of yet received such maintenance....:-).  Overall, though, they seem okay, and I certainly see some potential there.<br> </font></div> <div> <br> </div> <div id="sig5160" style="clear: both;"><font>Dave Stahl<font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"></font><br> Dave Stahl Piano Service<br> dstahlpiano@sbcglobal.net<br> dstahlpiano.net</font></div> <div> <br> </div> <div> <br> </div> -----Original Message-----<br> From: BobDavis88@aol.com<br> To: pianotech@ptg.org<br> Sent: Mon, 16 Jun 2008 5:26 pm<br> Subject: Re: Brodmann<br> <br> <div id="AOLMsgPart_2_2d7b289e-4052-455d-9db7-1cdbe4a1040d"> <font id="role_document" color="#000000" face="Bookman Old Style" size="3"> <div>I should have been more specific. I have never seen a Brodmann, and a customer asked me for advice about a 121 cm upright. Do any of you service this model? Actually, I would also welcome opinions about any model of Brodmann vertical or grand. Well made? Do they hold up? How are they priced compared to other good makes?</div> <div> </div> <div>Thanks again,</div> <div>Bob Davis</div> </font><br> <br> <br> <div><font style="color: black; font-family: ARIAL,SAN-SERIF; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 10pt; line-height: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal;"><hr style="margin-top: 10px;">Gas prices getting you down?
