Ivers & Pond
Heintzman
Decker Bros. (some)
Haines Bros.
Emerson
Hallet Davis
Bush & Gerts
Knabe
Krakauer
& some Cables
(not in any order)

BTW -- I will do a bait and switch now and repeat my request for any
experience out there with a B. H. Janssen, Albany -- c. 1912. The one
I saw had not a single crack in the soundboard. An incredible number
of ribs. The bass bridge was extremely different with a wide flange
flowing out from the bottom end and 4 one inch holes drilled through
its side. This piano had a magnificent sound -- still with the
original strings.

Cheers,
Clair
