[CAUT] Hume from Boston

[Ruth Van Dine]

I've been told that one of the designers from the Steinway factory was the
designer for the Hume and they are very similar.  Usually a very worthy
rebuild.

Hi folks.

Just had a call from a lady who has a Hume "salon" grand out of Boston 
from 1903. She says she's been told that Hume had some sort of connexion 
to Steinway NY back then, and instruments were made very much like S&S 
instruments and of much the same quality. Cant say I've come across the 
name so any information would be useful.

Thanks
