Comments
Those in the UK mostly made between 1920 and 1930, all uprights are overstrung underdampers. Generally tall, well made upright pianos plus a few grands 160 180 cm long. They are worth restoring, having a strong tone and very responsive action. Main colours black and mahogany. Not to be confused with Adams.
