<HTML>Hello Les,   Your post  with a legitimate question about a Brambach grand piano deserved an answer that is based on fact. The fact is that the answers you received did not ask "" which "" Brambach piano were you speaking of.  Now at least some of these post spoke as if they were speaking from knowledge.  Facts are most always dull and does not leave much room to posture or  stroke ones inflated ego.  Perhaps that why I respect the unvarnished truth so much.  The unvarnished truth is that there are " THREE  DIFFERENT "  Brambach grands. Three different scales, three different sizes.  I respectably suggest that unless we know of what we speak maybe,  just--maybe it would serve this list well not to speak at all. At least not from a position of supposed knowledge.  Recently there was much bashing of the Betsy Ross sp. built by the Lester Piano Co.  on this list. Much chest beating,  much hard blowing,  much ranting, much frothing at the mouth  and much ego stroking was posted.   Nothing was asked --- or said --- about which of the --- SEVEN  ---  different scales of  Betsy Ross Spinets are we talking about.     Les,  if you need info. on your Brambach call me when you are at the piano and I may be able to tell you what it,s  potential and limitations are.   Chew me out if you want guys,  about the only thing you will get is an unscheduled trip to your dentist.   See you soon Les,   Respectfully,    Jack Wyatt      </HTML>
