Hermann Mayr was a Russian piano maker. The company, the piano works of Hermann Mayr, was based in St. Petersburg, and it had been active from 1871 until WWI (1917). It made many pianos and exported a few. A few of their instruments got international recognition (Grand Prix at the world industrial exhibition in Paris) but overall they are regarded as mass produced pianos of mediocre quality. The address of the factory building is Petrozavodskaia 11 (11 Petrozavodsk Street). In the 19th century Russia had about a hundred piano manufacturers and large workshops. Most of them were founded by immigrants from what later became Germany and from Austria, though later a few piano makers of Belgian and English origin (at least one) appeared on the stage.
Russia is one of the very first European countries to start making pianos. In fact, right after the piano was invented in Vienna a number of workshops appeared in St. Petersburg, which later became factories.
Those early pioneers were:
Schroeder - 1783
A. Faverev - founded 1800
Alexei Nechaev - founded 1800
Johann Tischner - founded 1800
Johann Zimmermann - 1806
Theodore Diederichs - founded in 1810
Johann Friedrich Schreder - founded 1818
Ivan Karlovich - founded in 1818
All ceased production in 1917.
Pianos by Schroeder (Shreder), Diederichs and Bekker (started a bit later) are well known. Hermann Mayr is a late and is a purely commercial venture that gained some market share in the provinces and in some export markets due to the relatively low price of its pianos. Hermann Mayr pianos are considered good "entry level" instruments.

Why did electric pianos replace acoustic pianos?
Actually electric pianos did not replace acoustic pianos. There are literally millions of acoustic pianos in the united states alone, and more being bought every week. I personally see about 1000 pianos a year because I work as a piano tuner/technician. Electric pianos do come in handy for traveling to gigs, but acoustic pianos are very much alive and well.
