Gerhardt Th.

Post by Bill Kibby »

No dates of numbers are available, indeed I'm sorry to say that I cannot find any information, other than the fact that Gerhardt & Co. were already around in 1881, and were piano makers at 54 Fruchstrasse in 1928.

With german upright pianos, the most likely place to find dating information is on the rear of the action (the working parts of the notes) but you may need your tuner's help to remove the action and look.

I may be able to compile a report on design and approximate age from photos, see
