Old Altenburgs are not worth restoring, and new ones depend on what you think about buying a bottom-of-the-tank Samick. About 1996, Samick may have moved production of this brand to Indonesia. In 1990, the name was bought by Samick (Korea). As noted, production of their own instruments stopped in 1875. Later they added other piano brands to their retail stock. Seeing a growing market, Altenburg opened a retail store while continuing to manufacture pianos. Things went south about a year later, though Frederick (and possibly Otto) continued to build pianos. In 1868, Frederick formed a partnership with Edward Ehrlich (I don't know what happened to Otto) and built pianos under the F. They emigrated to America and opened their factory in New York in about 1865 and built pianos until 1875. Never heard of this brand myself, but I'll direct to you to Martha Beth's website on piano brands which I find to match well with my opinions of brands I know: Īltenburg, Otto (variously Altenburgh): Otto and his cousin, Frederick, began building pianos while living in Germany.
