[CAUT] [SPAM?? 59%] NYC piano manufacturers, ca 1860s

[Willem Blees]

Looks like manufacturers and dealers were pulling the wool over the public's eye even back then. Some of the claims for square pianos staying in tune "longer" makes one wonder if the manufacturers really knew what they were talking about.?

Other than that, fascinating information

I just stumbled across this. Fascinating compendium of hundreds of manufacturer's names and addresses, plus a large number of ads they placed in newspapers, etc.?
