Jonas-Chickering

Les:

 

I'd suspect that was an Aeolean product.  Chickering & Sons was a
different animal from Chickering (family feud!?).

I tuned a Jonas-Chickering piano today with a SN of about 1839, looks to
be about 30 years old.  The name plate was plastic, obviously a
knockoff. But there was registration to sent to Chickering and Sons,
which obviously had not been sent in.  Did Chickering make some really
cheap knockoffs of their own?  This was a really shoddy piece of work,
and I'm just nosey.

thanks
