| Piano Make | Kemmler | | Made in | Osnabrick, Germany | | Rating when Reconditioned (see makes page) | 50 - 65 | | Estimated number of pianos in the UK | 100; 80 uprights, 20 grands
| | Dates of manufacture and serial numbers | | | Comments on this make | | Most Kemmler pianos in the UK are smal modern uprights in mahogany, and of average quality. There are some grands; we recently restored a 5ft one, c1920, which was the practice piano for St Martin-in-the fields in Trafalgar Square. It had a good quality action and tone, though a strange idiosyncrasy was that it went up to Bb (86) on the trebble section strings and only A (85) on the action, meaning that the extra note at the top was redundant! |
