Sohmer pianos
on: December 31, 2004, 08:53:02 PM
My very special someone just purchased me a Sohmer 5'9" made by Samick. I was in the piano industry a long time and know quite a bit about pianos. But, this was a surprise. We had an old Sohmer upright that he wanted to replace. He knew how much I loved the old Sohmer and then decided to surprise me on this one. I don't know much about the new ones. It won't be in until February and therefore I haven't been able to play it.

Has anybody ever played them? I'm excited but nervous.

Did the piano come in?  How is it?

I actually have a question:  do you know whether it has aggraffes or a bridge holding the back of the strings?  This, I understand, is a signature of the old Sohmers and I am curious whether Samick kept this feature in the new design.  Stuart & Sons (a maverick Australian firm) makes much of this idea although it is unclear to me whether it is really the same concept.
Money does not make happiness, but it can buy you a piano.  :)
