<HTML>I just recently finished a Brambach 5' 3".  This was the first Brambach I had every had the chance to look at up close and personal and I was pleasantly surprised.  I had heard all sorts of disparaging comments regarding these pianos and while some of their models may have been poorly made this particular critter was very well constructed.  It didn't have any of the usual cut corners we see on lower end pianos.  The cabinet parts, esp. the music stand and desk, were well built with thicker than many more famous brands.  I was simply refinishing this one but the 75 years old pinblock took the tuning with nary a loose pin and the action was quite workable.  All in all I am looking forward to my next Brambach.
