Re: Sticking hammer after tuning
Hello, I do appreciate all the replies to my post. Regarding Colin Nicholson's reply: yes, it is an upright piano (overstrung), and the pedal mechanism is half-blow rail. When pressing the pedal, the 'inner' rail moves towards the strings. Yesterday the hammer got stuck all the time, but today it co...

Sticking hammer after tuning
Hello everybody, Yesterday I had my early 1920s piano tuned for the first time after I acquired it. The tuner was quite impressed with the condition of it and mentioned that it was just a bit flat tuning-wise. Among other things, he regulated the soft pedal. When I played it in the evening, I realiz...

Re: William Thomson & Son, Glasgow
Dear Bill Kibby, Thanks ever so much for your reply. The history of local dealers seems almost as interesting as the history of pianos itself and an important part of the local heritage. My piano still bears what I assume it was the shop registration number: Reg. No.809124 (in the inside of the lid,...

William Thomson & Son, Glasgow
Hello everybody, I recently made an enquiry to this forum on the styling of my recently acquired 1920s Danemann piano. The instrument has now been delivered to me, and I am curious about the dealer who originally sold it, as I haven't been able to find any information online. According to an incised...

Re: Danemann piano
Dear Vernon, Many thanks for your reply. I am a fan of Danemann quality and design: their pianos always look different, with character. I sometimes look on ebay for pianos, just out of curiosity, and Danemanns look so much newer and/or daring than their actual age (at least in my opinion). I take on...

Re: Danemann piano
Hi and thanks again for the replies. The piano is actually not very tall, just 112 cm. It does look taller in the picture. I totally agree: it has an odd combination of Arts & Crafts and 1930s styling. This has been a family piano, regularly played and tuned till about two years ago. It is just ...

Danemann piano
Hello, I have just acquired this piano. It is a Danemann. My brother in law checked out the serial number (40470) and told me it dates from 1923. I believe he consulted the Pierce Piano Atlas, which I do not have. The piano has also got a number on the inside of the lid: Reg. No. 809124. I am very a...
