  Hello to All:

     Otto Wissner left Germany in 1869 to come
to American to learn to build pianos in the American
way.  He found employment with George Steck and
then with Fred Mathusheck.  It is any wonder that he 
was destined to build great Pianos. 
      He then came to Brooklyn where he went into the
business as a technician and dealer. In 1890 he began
the manufacture of the " Wissner" piano.
       Otto had three sons who carried on the business 
well into the 1900s.  It is a Piano well worth rebuilding 
today.

   Hope this helps:
   Jack Wyatt
