But there are a few of the older instruments whose originators succeeded in making their genius known. In this day of advertising and enterprise the names of most great pianos are familiar to the public. The names of pianos are arranged alphabetically in this book to ascertain the character and reliability of any instrument. This list is not designed to catalogue all the American manufacturers, but it embraces most of the pianos that have played a considerable part in history for estimates of the qualities of the instruments themselves. This also suggests the need of some knowledge of the makers of the various instruments. As frequently repeated in these pages the only way by which to arrive at an approximate valuation of an unknown piano-one bearing a name that is not the trademark of a recognized industry is to ascertain the instrument's origin and condition. Agents and salesmen often make these items strong points in their arguments for or against the manufacture of these instruments. Consequently, prospective piano buyers usually desire to know something concerning these points. While the merits of musical instruments manufactured nearly a century ago are now not necessarily affected by the commercial standing or historical record of their makers. To some degree the information is for historical purposes and is for pianos manufactured by each of the listed companies at the time of manufacture.Īll statements regarding the material's and/or the techniques of manufacture are representative of that time when few blueprints existed and pianos were made one at time and in many cases with hand tools. This is a Directory of the piano industry and is designed to supplement the analytical matter pertaining to the instruments.
