This Giles piano has hardly been used in its life, made around 1980. The action is of great quality made by Herrburger Brooks (see beloew) Schwander action which has great response and a good dynamic touch for such a small piano. A modern high gloss finish makes this piano very sort after for its price and will fit and look great in any room. It has been tuned to A440 pitch and is an easy piano to tune also for its size and is of excellent design for a small piano.Herrburger BrooksUntil 1998 Herrburger Brooks was the world’s oldest established maker of piano actions, hammer heads, and keyboards. The company was originally founded in London in 1810 by Henry Brooks. In 1844 in Paris, Jean Schwander set up production of the famous Schwander action. This branch was later named after his son-in-law Josef Herrburger. He retired in 1882, but his name can still be found on many actions of fine pianos made today. Bechsteins, for example, were fitted with Schwander actions, up until about the time of the First World War. His successor was his son-in-law Joseph Herrburger, who formed a New York branch in 1900. Twenty years later Brooks of London and Herrburger amalgamated, so the firm of Herrburger Brooks came into being. The Paris branch of Herrburger Brooks closed in 1953 and moved to Long Eaton, Nottingham.Herrburger Brooks made action for many piano makes including: 1954 Eavestaff says Long Eaton. 1955 Knight Long Eaton. 1957 Kemble Herrb. Brooks Notts. 1957 Berry Notts. 1960 Kemble Long Eaton. 1963 Eavestaff marked Notts. 1966 Eavestaff marked Nottingham.In October 1996 Kimball sold the action division, Herrburger Brooks, to Harmony Pianos of Hong Kong. In September 1998, Herrburger Brooks went into administrative receivership
