I came across a nice older grand today with the name Sohmer on the =
fallboard.
However from all indications I doubt very much it is a Sohmer. The piano =
was
purchased from a shady outfit and had been refinished. Me thinks there =
was some
"fraudulating" goin' on with the name Sohmer being attached to =
it.<br>
For all you Chicago trivia buffs, what company used "SB-SC-
Chicago" cast into their plate emblem?<br>
No agraffes throughout, just capo d'astro from top to bottom.<br>
Very wide bridges<br>
Killer in the power and projection category<br>
Size: 6 ft<br>
Overall, a fairly decent piano.<br>
IMy guess is a Lyon & Healey. Maybe Story & Clark or =
Schaff?<br>
