| Comments on this make |
| Strohmenger are fair quality British pianos. Pre 1910 uprights often overstrung with inlay. There are any pre 1930s upright straight strung underdampers. Baby and boudoir grands fair with good mellow tone. Most Strohmengers need a lot of reconditioning; hammers and action tend to wear quickly. |
