Re: Neumeyer Berlin

Thelma, . . . . . You state that you bought the piano from a man who restored pianos as a hobby and had done some work on this piano. Also that this person said it was 'too old to have a serial number'. That of course is nonsense, and in my view questions his credibility and perhaps some of the wor...

Re: Neumeyer Berlin

Thelma, . . . Last point, if it were my piano I would most definitely move it further away from that grand, elegant-looking, open fireplace, especially if you occasionally have a roaring fire there. Extremes of temperature and stable tuning do not go hand in hand. Please keep us advised on your dec...

Re: Neumeyer Berlin

Wow- the workmanship on its panel! They don't make pianos like this anymore! As for its serial number- if you lift up the panel on the top of the piano (where its strings are as in the photo you showed) the serial number is carved on the rim - left side I think. That's where it is on my Piano. Yes!...

Re: Neumeyer Berlin

It is a huge beast, but pure quality through and through. The sound and power must be fabulous - although you do mention the tuning not staying put for very long. The workmanship and standard of attention to detail is quite something to see these days. :D Cor...yes..I am almost drooling at the sigh...

Re: Neumeyer Berlin

Very nice looking instrument! I don't think the serial numbers were recorded for these piano (none in my Pierce Atlas), and I suspect this may not be the serial number? - as it has too many numbers.... I would date this possible pre- 1900. Where did you find these numbers? The left & right fron...

Re: Neumeyer Berlin

I would put its age down as around 1904 ish - Pollards would have just been the suppliers. It is a huge beast, but pure quality through and through. The sound and power must be fabulous - although you do mention the tuning not staying put for very long. I wouldn't be surprised if central heating ha...

Re: Neumeyer Berlin

Wow!! She is a beauty! I don't suppose you can show some photos of the insides too? Thanks for sharing your piano with us. I'm sure someone will have some useful info for you soon. :) Mark It’s really great to hear from people who feel the same way as I do about this piano! Unfortunately I don't ha...

Neumeyer Berlin

We have a very 'posh' looking Neumyer piano with Neumyer Berlin on the frame. The keys are finished with ivory and there is a carved front panel. Serial number 31484. I tried following advice given on this website and asked our local library about Pierce Piano Atlas, but they said they couldn't get ...
