My name is Frank Wijmenga. I live in the Netherlands. We have an old piano in our familie. We know that it is over 100 years old. It is named:
J.Staub
Paris
Medailles D'or

The factory J. Staub (in France) does not exist any more. The inside-works is named (On the iron)
Mecanique Schwander
A repetition
J. Herrburger - Paris
nr.: 26809

I wonder if there is a conection with your firm. If you have any information regarding my piano please contact me. This because I looked everywhere for information but did not find any. I'm sorry for my bad Englisch. Please contact me. I thank you. Frank Wijmenga, Elsloo, Netherlands

Hi! I'm sure you speak my language better than I speak yours! The "inside-works" or "mecanique" is known as the "action", yours was made by Herrburger-Schwander, and the serial number should be longer, See the end of

I will see what I can find about Staub, and I can supply a printed booklet on the history of Herrburger-Schwander via the PianoGen website.

In 1928, there were several firms named Staub in Germany, but the only french one was in Jarville (Muerthe-et-Moselle) Bernet-Staub et Cie, avenue de la Malgrange.- Manufacturer de pianos.- Established 1848.
