Thanks. > > Larry Trischetta > Scranton, Pa, NE Pa Chapter > ltpianoman@aol.com Dear Larry, I have only seen 2 Beckwith pianos in my career. Neither were terrible. I think Sears did not build them but had them built by a piano company like Thomas built the Silvertone organs. Considering the amount of business Sears does I am surprized there aren't many more around. James Grebe RPT from St. Louis pianoman@inlink.com
