hi, I am thinking of buying an ALEXANDER HERRMANN 115cm upright. I get the impression that these pianos were not very well liked. It seems to have a good sound , the tuner says it has agraffes and renner action.
I think the serial number is 44587.
Has anyone got any opinions on these pianos etc. should i buy it or steer away from gdr pianos?

Is it definitely a DDR piano? I haven't got my Michel's handy to check the number. Look for the fatal words or acronyms: "Union, DDR, GDR or VEB"

If so, you'd be well advised to try something else.

PIANOGUY, my alexander herrmann does have GDR on the back of it.
could you check the serial number 44587 to see what year it was made please.

44587 would suggest around 1980 ?
