Franke

This particular Franke does not appear on my 1911 list for Berlin, or 1928, and although there was A.H. Franke in Leipzig, I have no information about the Berlin one so far. The best bet with german pianos is to get your tuner to check the action (the working parts of the notes) to see if the action makers' name and number is on the rear of it. See also
